A young boy, named Nehemiah, has been prepared for a
glorious purpose. Trained by his Rabbi from a young age, he know that someday
he has been called to be cupbearer to the one true King. Will the day come
sooner than anyone can imagine?
I loved this book. I read the entire thing in two days. Again and again, Bodie and Brock Thoene have constructed a gorgeous story, based on threads of tales in the Bible. I do not know how they manage to weave together these beautiful tapestries they call books. Using bits of several stories in the Bible, they create an intriguing tale based on fact. I will never stop reading their books!
This
book specifically was so touching to see how Jesus reacted to a little boy, and
all of the children to be precise. One of the hardest things that Bodie and Brock
successfully do is to so beautifully describe Jesus.
I
can’t think of a single thing I would have changed about this book. It was so
beautifully described, and at the end, everything was so wonderfully resolved,
I am pretty sure I cried at least twice! Bodie and Brock are SO good at not
leaving loose ends in their books. I can’t wait until the next book comes out,
the first two were fantastic.
Overall,
I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who wants a fresh look at the
Bible stories they have grown up hearing, it changes the way you read the Bible
when you know the backstory. Obviously, their books should not be read the same
way we read the Bible, but their books are a great tool to better understand
the time and context of the Bible. If you have not read their books yet, be
sure to pick this one up!
