What if the shepherds who first beheld the newborn Messiah kept crossing paths with Him—without fully realizing who He was?
 
In The Last Passover, Eben—one of the shepherds who heard the angel’s proclamation on the night of Jesus’ birth—has years later almost forgotten what he witnessed beneath the Bethlehem sky. Now, he finds himself in Jerusalem, where a brief encounter with a remarkable twelve-year-old boy in the Temple stirs his memory.
 
Nearly two decades pass before Eben, in Jerusalem for the annual Passover, has another fleeting encounter and a growing sense that he knows this man.
 
Follow Eben across three consecutive Passovers, as tensions build and whispers spread of a teacher from Galilee. Could he be the same child he once saw? Could he be the baby from Bethlehem?
