Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ by Lew Wallace
4.0
In Ben-Hur, Lew Wallace weaves the story of Christ with the tale of Judah Ben-Hur a Jewish prince. This classic story brings the biblical accounts of the three wise men, the birth of Christ, his rise to the forefront of the clash between Rome and Israel, and his passion and death to life.
As we follow Ben-Hur from his boyhood in his father’s home, to the unjust sentence of enslavement in the hull of a Roman warship, to his chariot race against his adversary, Messala, to his continued struggle to find his mother and sister, Tizrah, to his encounters with the Nazarite and his conversion, we see the changes that strengthen his character and ultimately instill in him a call to good works, forgiveness, and faith.
