Saint John the Forerunner and Baptist was the Forerunner of Christ who baptized Jesus in the Jordan. What does a man do with a word from God he cannot yet hold in his heart, and how does the desert forge a prophet out of a hunted child?

The preparation of the Forerunner began in a Temple incense cloud with the trembling hands of an old priest who had stopped hoping. This volume traces the miraculous origins of the last prophet of the Old Covenant, following Zacharias as he carries an angelic word in imposed silence to the hill country. It tracks Elizabeth as she flees into the wilderness with her infant to escape a king seeking the Christ child, finding refuge in a mountain that opens to receive them. The narrative dwells in the decades of desert asceticism, examining the garment of camel hair and the diet of locusts and wild honey that shaped the saint. The volume leaves the reader at the threshold of the Jordan, watching a man forged by years of solitude step forward to announce the coming of the Lord.
