"This imaginative Christmas novel by Richard M. Barry tells the story of an adopted son with a mysterious connection to the Messiah, who seeks the truth about his birth thirty years later. The Shepherds' Prayer is a story that reminds us of two things. First, we remember that the humble will be lifted up and confound the wisdom of the wise. Secondly, Barry's novel reminds us of perhaps how we often react to the difficult and painful circumstances in our lives."
– Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministry
“Richard Barry's novel, ‘The Shepherds' Prayer', is a Christmas treasure! Reading ‘The Shepherds' Prayer', I imagined how the shepherds must have felt on that blessed night of Christ's birth more than 2,000 years ago; so afraid when the angel of the Lord appeared to them with the news of the Savior's birth, yet trusting completely in the word of God. ‘The Shepherds' Prayer' tells the tale of one man's search for the truth of who he is, where he came from, and how he fits into God's story. Anam's search is our search – when we seek the truth, we always find Christ!”
-- Jeff Cavins, author and creator of The Great Adventure, The Bible Timeline
“Richard Barry's fictitious story of Anam's journey in 'The Shepherd's Prayer' drew me to the cradle of Our Lord like no other story before. It allowed my imagination to experience what an extraordinary grace the nativity was for those who witnessed it and for those who would come to know Christ for the next two thousand years. A must-read for all ages, 'The Shepherd's Prayer is a classic tale that will transport its readers to the very moment when the Word is made Flesh.”
