Benjamin’s Sling

Benjamin’s Sling by Eileen M. Berry is a poetic version of the Christmas story through the eyes of a young shepherd. One night, a group of angels tells Benjamin and the other shepherds of a newborn Savior. Rejoicing, the men decide to go in search of Him. But Benjamin remembers the terrible night when his father died defending the sheep from wolves. How can Benjamin leave the flock alone on the dark hillside? Follow in Benjamin’s footsteps as he finds a new source of peace and trust in the infant Jesus. Simple and lyrical, this retelling of Christ’s birth will delight young and old readers alike.
