Leading up to the birth of Christ, Fourth Dawn tells the Christmas story like never before. This is Joseph and Mary's story--the human drama of a virgin teenage girl pregnant with the Son of God and her fiancé who must deal with the reality that he is forced to care for the mother of God's child and eventually care for the child himself. Told through the eyes of those who witnessed these events, Fourth Dawn takes place at a time in history when the evil Herod ruled--a dangerous time for anyone to show interest in the Messiah's coming, much less give birth to the Messiah, or to be the Anointed One!
