Publisher Description
Amidst betrayal and resurrection rumors, James must decide where his loyalties truly lie.
James ben Joseph wrestles with the pain of his older brother's death. He never believed Jesus was a rebel, but his brother's radical teachings drew dangerous attention from the Pharisees.
Traveling to Jerusalem for Passover, James hoped to convince Jesus to abandon his reckless ideas and come home. Betrayal and conflict led to Jesus' arrest and crucifixion, and to protect his family, James turned his back on his brother.
As rumors spread that Jesus has risen from the dead, James' sorrow mixes with fear of persecution. Determined to protect his family from further chaos, he sets out to uncover who is spreading these dangerous claims. As the truth unfolds, James faces a decision that could change his and his siblings' lives forever.
Step into the world of first-century Jerusalem and follow James on his journey of faith in James, Book 1 of the Servant Siblings series.
Customer Reviews
Good, clean biblical reading.
Love this series, although this first book was hard for me to get into. It probably has more to do with a rough season in my life, but I felt like the despair was so heavy until the last quarter of the book, when finally the heaviness seemed to subside, or perhaps because I know James reconciles with his brother, and I know how this story ends. I was struggling to stick with this. Besides the heaviness, this book was well written, I love a good clean read, and I especially love biblical history, even if it’s a bit fictitious, books like this bring the Bible to life! I’ve only recently read some of Jenifer’s writings, but love her imagery and what I’ve read is very well written, with few grammatical errors.
