For the Temple

Date: 70 A.D.
Setting: Jerusalem
Main Event: The fall of Jerusalem during the Palestinian revolt against Rome.

Fast-paced adventure in the setting of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. written by G.A. Henty and read by Jim Weiss.

Henty weaves a rousing, yet poignant, adventure of the revolt of Palestine against the power of Rome, and the birth of Christianity.  Follow John, a courageous, young Jew, as he fights in the siege of Jerusalem, survives slavery in Alexandria and the dispersal of the Jews, wins the favor of the Emperor Titus, and returns triumphantly to Galilee.  Based on the eyewitness accounts of Josephus, this is a masterful story of events that changed our world forever.    

“We have longed for Jim to record this particular Henty…we think it is the best yet!”—Parent
