I have long been a fan of Bodie and Brock Thoene‘s books. Several years ago I read the Zion Covenant series, and I recently have been going through the A.D. Chronicles series. If you like Bible fiction, World War II fiction, and fiction centered around the Jewish people’s history, you will thoroughly Bodie’s and Brock’s books!!

When Jesus Wept, Bodie’s and Brock’s newest fiction novel written from the perspective of the resurrected Lazarus of Bethany, was one of the best novels I’ve read by this duo. Set around the time of Jesus’ appearance into the ministry, I was quickly drawn into Lazarus’ life, the characters’ situations, and the portrayal of the Lord Jesus. Bodie and Brock have a magnificent way of making the Lord palpable, as if I could reach through the book and touch Him. The emotion, the plot, and the writing are all beautiful. I highly recommend this novel, and I know I’ll be looking forward to Book 2!
