Bedu: Bedouin Boy, Poet King: A Profoundly Simple Journey
Bedu, a shepherd boy from Damascus, is enthralled when King Melchior arrives at his family's simple home with more than a hundred warriors and his beautiful granddaughter, Yasmin, in tow. When Bedu's father offers the king a feast, including a dinner with the family's last seven sheep and four goats, the king gifts Bedu five gold coins and sends him to Judea to replace the herd. But in this magical journey of self-discovery, what Bedu finds is greater in value than any livestock. Travelers have always relied on stars to guide their journey, and Bedu follows the stars to transform from what he 'does' to become who he is truly meant to 'be.' In the spirit of The Defense of Duffer's Drift and A Message to Garcia, this simple tale offers profound insights on leadership and living with a purpose.

Admiring the pink hues of the sunset with poetry flowing through his head, Bedu had no idea that this night would be the start of a new unexpected and completely exciting chapter of his life.
Bedu’s journey starts after he meets king Melchior. He teaches Bedu about the famous seven stars and sends him on a journey to restore his father’s flock of sheep. A most wonderful journey where Bedu would learn a lot about life and its meaning and also a journey to discover who he really is.
The authors of this book have shown great knowledge of the Middle East. They have described places, cities and, what it was like to travel back then and the number of days it took to reach a certain destination. All of the description and knowledge about animal care and breeding as well as growing trees have added so much to this book.
The characters in the book were full of life, Love and wisdom.

Good book.
Simple and nice.
Although felt a little similar to 'The Alchemist'. Still a good read.
Wrote a complete review about it on my blog. www.nikkistalk.co.in

Bedu: Bendouin Boy, Poet King by David Sutherland was an book filled with adventure, life lessons and of course love. This book kept me interested the whole time and I read it in record time. This story parallels the story of Christ, which as a Christian, it was very interesting to read this side of the story. Christ was in the background and only mentioned loosely.
Some of the wordage in this book (i.e. annoying, stupid) took me out of the story for a moment since they didn’t seem like words of the time.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes historical fiction, books about self-discovery or light romance. All in all, a really good book!

A sleeper
When I first started this book I considered dropping it. It seems to be trivial. Stick with it - the book is profound. An excellent story with such deep meaning.
