description: Here is another truly compelling novel that has for its setting the Holy Land at the time of Christ. It is the story of a young man who at the cost of being renounced by family and friends cannot deny his belief in the great teacher Jesus of Nazareth.Jonathan of Cyrene was a handsome well-born youth who came to Jerusalem to live with his wealthy childless uncle. This move promised a glowing future - he would probably become heir to his uncle's vast estates and under his uncle's auspices he would no doubt find a young woman charming and beautiful who would make the appropriate wife he longed for. It might all have happened had not Jonathan met the young Jewish teacher whose beliefs seemed so heretical to his uncle and friends. It was not long before Jonathan realized that he would never be happy unless he followed Jesus for he knew He was the Messiah.
