Publisher Description
Jesus changed millions of lives; his was one of the first.
After conflict and betrayal result in the arrest of Jesus, James is forced to turn his back on his brother.
Sentenced to death by crucifixion, Jerusalem is painted with his brother's blood. James' mourning is met with fear when whispers of Jesus' resurrection fill the streets.
Obligated to take charge of a divided family, James must protect his siblings from blood-thirsty Rome and a pious council until they can flee the riotous city.
Will they endure the same fate as their oldest brother?
If you want to experience the sights, smells, and sounds of first-century Jerusalem in the wake of Jesus' resurrection, then you don't want to miss this new 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.
