Ben-Hur, A tale of Christ!!


 Ben-Hur A Tale of the Christ

by Carol Wallace



One of the bestselling novels of all time is back, Lew Wallace's great-great granddaughter has breathed new life into it for today's readers. It was really interesting to take a step back into the time period that Jesus lived in. The storyline starts with young Judah Ben-Hur going to meet his best friend after having not seen each other for several years. The years have passed these young men and changed each of them in very vast way that touches their lives. It will be years later before these two former friends turned enemies face off in the big chariot race. But the underlying story that runs thru this story is how Christ touched the lives of a family in several different ways. 

This is my first time ever reading this book, it was exciting to be able to review this book. From the moment I picked up the book to read it till the end of it, it held my attention and made me want to see the movie. 


This book was given to me for free by Tyndall blogging for an honest review.

One of my favorite music groups sing a song that goes with the new movie. For King and Country's song Ceasefire, check this amazing video out on youtube.
