Endorsements The Chinese Magus is a compelling evocation of the journey to Bethlehem. Richard Yeo has the gift of taking you right inside the story; the characters are vividly real and come alive in front of your eyes. I felt as if I was taking the journey with them, and was changed by the experience. This is a very special book.
