“Page-turning . . . Set against the political and religious turmoil of the times, the Thoenes’ story vividly reimagines the evolving friendship between Jesus and Lazarus.” —Publishers Weekly
LAZARUS—the man Jesus raised from the dead in one of the most extraordinary encounters with The Living Savior in all of Scripture. But the life of Lazarus holds interest well beyond this miraculous event. Living in Bethany, near Jerusalem, Lazarus witnessed many of the most important events of Jesus’s life and ministry.
Lazarus owned a vineyard and devoted his life to caring for its vines and fruit. But he encountered another man—Jesus—whose vineyard was the world, its fruit the eternal souls of men. When Lazarus’s story and the story of Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection touch in When Jesus Wept, we are offered a unique vision into the power and comfort of Christ’s love.
Brock and Bodie Thoene’s most powerful and climactic writing project to date, When Jesus Wept, captures the power and the passion of the men and women who lived through the most important days in the history of the world.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a well-known scene in the Gospels, Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, and, famously, Lazarus is the only person in the Gospels for whom Jesus wept. This first book of the award-winning Thoenes' new series, Jerusalem Chronicles, offers a well-paced, page-turning prequel to the story of Jesus and Lazarus. Mourning the death of his wife and his newborn child, Lazarus, a well-respected vintner, searches anxiously for ways beyond the darkness of despair. When his best friend, Judah, hears about a man traveling the countryside preaching a message of hope and light, he and Lazarus set off in search of him, and soon Lazarus witnesses John baptizing Jesus. Eventually Judah and Lazarus, along with Lazarus's sisters, Mary and Martha, recognize Jesus as the anointed one of God who's come to challenge the hated Roman government in Jerusalem, and they become his close disciples. Set against the political and religious turmoil of the times, the Thoenes' story vividly reimagines the evolving friendship between Jesus and Lazarus and the life-changing effect it has on Lazarus.

Excellent
So good. Read it in one day! Believable characters doing believable things.
Unscriptural
Mary of Bethany is not the same person of Mary of Magdala which this book states.
Excellent!
Imagine seeing Jesus through the eyes of Lazarus and being raised from the Dead when Jesus called his name. Remarkable!
