The Camel Ride Home: What the Wise Men Found That First Christmas

By Dana Lyons

Every Christmas we set them out under the tree. Three wise men, a few camels, and those famous gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. But have you ever stopped to wonder about them?

The Bible gives the wise men just a few verses. They weren't family. They weren't on anyone's guest list. They were strangers from a faraway land who followed a star for miles and miles to find a baby King. And when they finally saw Him, they fell to the ground and worshiped.

So what was that camel ride there like? Were they excited? Nervous? Arguing over what this King would look like? And what about the ride home? Was it total silence until someone finally said, "What just happened?" Or was everyone talking at once?

Scripture doesn't tell us everything, and this book never tries to add to it. Instead, it simply wonders right alongside you. It asks the questions we all secretly have, and it gently points back to the One the wise men came to see.

Maybe they left with more than they brought. Maybe faith, hope, and love rode home with them.

The Camel Ride Home is a short, heartfelt Christmas gift book for anyone who needs a quiet moment to slow down this season. Grab a cup of coffee and come wonder with me. Because Christmas was never about the gifts we give. It's about the Gift we get to receive. His name is Jesus.
