Take This Cup

By: Bodie Thoene

Narrated by: Tom O'Malley

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 & 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 book in the Jerusalem Chronicles (When Jesus Wept)
• Full-length novel at 400 pages

Wonderful Imaginative

Awesome! A worthwhile listen. Very well researched. Gives depth to the words in the Bible

Special book!

I loved the quiet calm I got from this story & the readers voice. Long, but enjoyable. Creative weaving of Biblical events.

Inspiring

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+.

A Very Good Read

very interesting and new take on Jesus and the Last Supper. And as always, new insight into Hebrew custom & tradition, as well as Scripture. I've now read over 40 books by the Thoenes; I've enjoyed, and learned something new from each one.
