OTHER EDITIONS AVAILABLE: Hardback |
Brother Egbert is a medieval monk who spends most of his time in the scriptorium copying out pages from the Bible. That is how Jake, the carpenter’s son, learns the story of Jesus’ birth. It is a story that inspires Jake and his father as they make a new carving for the abbey church’ and that carving inspires Brother Egbert to write this story.

He studied art and design at Portsmouth, after which, he moved to Norfolk with his wife Gill and their young family. There he has worked as an artist, sculptor and teacher, and has renovated the Tudor farm-house, which is their home. He keeps a small herd of Dexter cattle, and a few chickens. Steve has a passion to share his Christian faith with children and young people.
For many years, he and his wife have run a weekly club to share the wonderful stories of the Bible with local children.
