An American classic, Ben-Hur is both a vivid historical epic and the powerful story of one man's spiritual journey from slavery to vengeance to redemption. Born the son of a Jewish nobleman, Ben-Hur is condemned to the galleys for life for accidentally dislodging a piece of tile that falls on the Roman procurator. He is betrayed by his best friend, manages to escape his imprisonment, and gains revenge and glory before the cheering multitudes in the chariot races at the Roman circus in Antioch. Later, he fulfills his true destiny at the foot of a cross on a hill in Jerusalem.(P)2000 Blackstone Audio Inc. Classics Middle East Emotionally Gripping Revenge

What the critics say

"This is a performance of sustained excellence, sustained across a range of characters and emotions, across time and geography. Male and female, young and old, the self-absorbed and the selfless, the worldly and the spiritual; all are within the compass of James' command. His reading is at once evocative, moving, and entertaining." (AudioFile)

Few historical functions have the ability to so completely immerse the reader in its time and place as this one. I thoroughly enjoys this book and would recommending to anyone who has an interest in Jewish, Christian, or Roman history.

A great adventure amidst stunning history.

If you like ancient history and are a Christian, you will like this story. Too long winded for my taste.
