When Jesus Wept

Jerusalem Chronicles, The Volume: 1

By Bodie and Brock Thoene

What a wonderful book about Lazarus and his life at the time of Christ. It is based on scripture but adds Lazarus as attending or being involved in many of the New Testament miracles and happenings in the life of Jesus.   The story is really about life as a Jew in Roman times.   Lazarus owned a vineyard and spent a lot of his time tending the vines - then Jesus touches his life - and changes everything.  Jesus walks in and out of Lazarus’ life during his years of ministry and all the way to the resurrection.

I loved this book – the way they use scripture to tell parts of the story is wonderful.  I loved the history included regarding Roman times, the oppression of the Jews, John the Baptist and many other historical and biblical events. So many parables and people we briefly read about in the Bible are expanded upon to give greater understanding.  This is not your traditional Christian fiction book but I think would be of interest to anyone who enjoys historical fiction.
