EXPERIENCE THE PASSION WEEK

Having grown up in the impoverished lower city of Jerusalem, Shamira is no stranger to injustice at the hands of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Her family is shunned by many in the Jewish community who believe that their misfortune in life is the result of a secret sin. Rumors are spreading of a nearby healer with incredible abilities; if the stories are true, then the Messiah may be near, and Shamira will stop at nothing in the pursuit of a miracle.

Asa spends every day at the temple under the tutelage of his strict father, an elite Levite priest who enforces the laws without mercy. Between the growing demands of the Roman government and the threats of the Zealots, tensions are high. When Shamira, the girl who stole his heart years ago, asks him to help her find the healer called Jesus, he must choose to either follow in his father’s footsteps or forge his own path.

Shamira knows that both her life and the lives of her loved ones could be changed forever, but only if she can find a way to speak to the man called Jesus of Nazareth before it's too late.

Jesus is real!

The Love for God and trust in him starts early. Jesus brought peace and love.

Great Biblical Fiction

This was a very good book. I loved the story line and the way so many parts of scripture were woven into the characters’ lives. A real depiction of how the believers in Jesus must’ve felt when He was beaten and crucified; and how the new church in Jerusalem began. The narration was tolerable but not nearly as enjoyable as a real person’s voice. Some I’ve tried I just quit at the beginning. I listened to the entire book, so maybe the fake voices are getting better. Sad though, just another way to put real people out of a job.

Jesus Christ the messiah!

This book is fantastic, I loved it from beginning to end. I felt like I was there, captivated, excited and moved

Famtastic Book

I read the Publisher's review. But the review didn't do this book justice. This is the story of a family who lived during the time of Jesus. As a cultural expose, the writing is very informative. The several families have members who are more difficult and those members who are easier to get along with. Some of the characters are more difficult than others while others are more encouraging. Much as is today. How the families react to the public discourse of Jesus is most interesting.
Although I am not a fan of virtual voice, it was not too challenging to discern what the author was trying to say.

sweet story

The computer generated narrative was an improvement over other of her books, but still strange to listen to. The emphasis or lack there of instrange places. But I did finish this book where as I couldn’t other ones that were computer generated.

Asa the young man looks for Jesus and finds him.
