For the Temple

De: G. A. Henty

Narrado por: William Sutherland

In this stirring tale of the last days of the Temple at Jerusalem, robber bands and political infighting set the stage for the Roman destruction of the city in 70 A.D. In the face of overwhelming odds, John of Gamala does his best to save God's Temple, harassing Roman work parties, burning Roman camps, defending Jerusalem during the Roman siege, and even fighting Titus himself in hand-to-hand combat, forging a relationship with the Roman leader that lasts until after the war. In spite of fighting a losing battle, John keeps his integrity and honor intact.(P)2002 Blackstone Audio Inc

Best story ever!

This is perhaps the best book I have ever listened to. Each chapter keeps you on the edge and really fuels the soul

Amazing look at the the Jewish rebellion

Fantastic and intriguing story and really helps you understand what was going on at the time of the destruction of the temple.

Great Book

This is a great book, but the person that reads the story does not change character voices very well. The book makes it worth the purchase though

Great historical fiction! This book provides great insight into the time when the Romans burned the temple in Jerusalem.

Gripping and Action-packed

Thus was my 3rd G.A. Henry novel and I was not disappointed. His likeable and noble characters won my loyalty from the start. Their adventures through actual events were believable and the historical knowledge I gained was fabulous.

Worth the Effort

Thorough retelling of the fall of Jerusalem. I learned so much! As usual, there were long passages describing battle techniques (not
my thing), but the story was worth seeing through till the end. I even cried at the last chapter. Best of all, it spurred my desire to learn more about the leaders in the book.
