Resumen del Editor

Based on Scripture and resonating with historical detail comes a beautiful, fully imagined story of a young child and his role in the Last Supper of Jesus Christ.

When Nehemiah, the child of Jewish exiles, begins hearing whispers and experiencing portentous visions, it quickly becomes clear to his father and his rabbi that the young cupbearer is meant for a higher purpose...but what? Certain that the Messiah is alive at that very moment, the family waits for the boy’s destiny to be revealed.

From the ancient site of the Garden of Eden, Nehemiah undertakes a perilous journey. The caravan route is full of danger, hardship, and mystery - all of it linked to what Nehemiah has in his keeping.

In due time, his path becomes clear. It leads to Jerusalem, to a wealthy Pharisee named Joseph of Arimathea...and to Jesus of Nazareth.

In Take This Cup, the second installment of the Jerusalem Chronicles, Bodie and Brock Thoene breathe new life into one of Scripture’s most mysterious moments and expand their award-winning historical fiction with power and depth. The second audiobook in the Jerusalem Chronicles (When Jesus Wept)

Includes an author’s note and a full list of the authors’ books by series.

Reality is hard. Fiction allows the exsperance without the gravity of reality. Thurlly enjoyed. Wheres the third one, behold the man?

Loved it!

I was transported back in time and space. The rich descriptive passages, which, if I was reading myself, I would have hurried over, painted the scene, and enriched my imagination. The change of voices for the characters was ver well done. The book came alive.

Good listen.

I really enjoyed the imagery the author as well as the narrator have given this book. It blends Bible history with knowledge of the times to create a wonderful story.

A great listen for your daily walk or riding in the car. For those of us of faith, it is a great look into the past, and fortify us for the future

Fabulous absolutely fabulous

Take this cup was a riveting performance and store. I am not usually emotionally connected to books. This book, is what you will not want to put down or, stop listening to. The comment from the author at the end of the book, helps to understand why it is so good. I would recommend this book with a 10+.

Loved this book, definitely worth the read.

The rabbi

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book did both make me laugh and cry. Can't wait for the sequel. The research is amazing. I think Ms Rivers is equal to Brock and Bodie Theone in her research and storytelling and means something to me because the Theone's have always been my favorites.

Storyteller

No way can any of us who are followers of Jesus can retell His stories. I think as He told them all who were listening and not trying to find fault with the Christ had do many truths locked in their hearts and were so amazed as those truths unlocked and were revealed.
I did enjoy this very much and it is shown many times throughout the author's writing as to the amount of research which went into so many many chapters. Thank you.
