Nichols turns his award-winning writing career to the greatest mystery of all time in The Third Dawn: From Bethlehem to Golgotha.

Accompanied by His lifelong friend, Nur, the young Jesus ventures throughout the towns and villages of Israel, Palestine, and across the sea to the port city of Ephesus. With Nur always at His side, Jesus experiences the joys and hardships of humanity—Jews and gentiles, rich and poor, believers and nonbelievers, freemen and slaves.

Nichols’s gifted storytelling brings forth this unique perspective on the life of the Messiah, providing a rare insight into His personal joys and suffering. The reader will experience the emotions of His power and authority when, on a mountaintop above Capernaum, He pronounces the future, and a spectacular miracle occurs in the city below.

The Third Dawn was initially published in 2011 but is now updated with new dialogue and more detailed settings.

I was scheduled to be in Israel 2 weeks ago and was taking your book with me to read while there. Although the trip was cancelled prior to my take-off, I am reading the book now.

Wow, I'm so glad you didn't get stuck there, Karen! Sorry you missed your trip. My sister's in-laws landed in Israel on Oct 7 and were blocks from the bombings. Difficult to get out of there, so I'm very glad you missed all that drama and danger.

I hope you enjoy Tom's book as much as I did. Thank you for taking the time to read and review!
