Take This Cup
by Brock and Bodie Thoene
Nehemiah is the son of shepherds and has been given charge
of Joseph’s cup. He is to present it to
the Messiah in Jerusalem. His journey is
a long and convoluted one, filled with despair yet laced with hope. Step by step he comes closer to his destiny,
while learning many lessons of faith along the way. Will he be able to complete his quest? Will he be reunited with his family?
Brock and Bodie Thoene have recreated the political and
religious climate in Israel in the days before Jesus’ death and
resurrection. They have meticulously
researched the details of Nehemiah’s story.
One of the enjoyable aspects of this book was that old characters, like
old friends, resurface in the story.
Even though I have not read every one of the novels in this saga, I
followed the plot quite easily. True to
form, the Thoenes keep the reader wondering what will happen next. All in all,
it was an excellent and educational read.
If readers have appreciated the Thoenes' previous works, this is a book
that will be enjoyed as well.
