Synopsis

Reviewers say: "I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough,"..."Two thumbs up"..."Highly recommended,".."a Five-Star rating,"..."The author did a wonderful job on weaving history and fact together to make a fast paced and gripping book,"..."Author E. G. Lewis has a wonderful skill with his writing, hiding deep and serious research under simple, honest story-telling." Witness: An old tale told in a new way. Things are good for young Rivkah. Her father's just given her a lamb to start her own flock, and Shemu'el wants to marry her. The young shepherdess accompanies her father to Bethlehem where, with Mary’s help, she holds her newborn son. But Mary, Joseph and Jesus are soon gone and Herod’s soldiers begin killing the children of her village. Then her intended, Shemu’el, is dragged away into slavery. Divided by fate, united by love, these two young people grow to separate adulthoods, each with their dreams and desires unfulfilled, while the world of Rome and conquest moves inexorably on. Rivkah eventually marries and raises a family. Life is good until the day she's in Jerusalem for the Passover when three men pass on their way to crucifixion. As she encounters Jesus a final time, Rivkah makes a life-changing decision and follows to Golgotha. And, when they take him from the cross, this time it’s Rivkah who helps Mary hold her son. An epic tale of love lost and love found. Biblically and historically accurate.
