Cry for Jerusalem 63-66 CE

Resisting Tyranny, Book 1

By: Ward Sanford

Narrated by: Simon de Deney

Was it fate, destiny, or some divine plan that brought four very different travelers together in their struggle to survive what should have been a routine trip to Rome?

Driven by events, these new friends and their family members found themselves playing pivotal roles at a focal point in the history of Western civilization. Winds that had spread a great fire across Rome also carried embers eastward to Judea, where they threatened to ignite a conflict that would forever change the world for Jews and Christians.

In this first of a series of four novels, the Jewish rebellion begins in a backdrop of secret tunnels and assassins, where the dreaded Sicarii can strike like lightning and blend back into the crowd just as quickly. Even trained Roman mercenaries are no match for them.

In between these historical events - recorded by the historian and eyewitness Josephus - there’s the story of the people involved. You get to meet them in Cry for Jerusalem.

Epic Historical Novel

This book was an excellent read. I learned a lot of interesting historical details that I had not been aware of before. There were many interesting characters, twists, and turns in the narrative. The narrator did a great job voicing all the characters and was really easy to listen to. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a good story.

Historical fiction at its finest

Historical fiction is my favorite genre and Cry For Jerusalem is my new favorite for this time period. Very interesting and well developed characters set in a fascinating time in history. Ward Sanford really brings them to life. Reminiscent of the work of Bernard Cornwell. I’d highly recommend Cry For Jerusalem and I can’t wait to continue the saga.

Fabulous historical story

Poignant and inspirational, the author weaves a story of the heights and depths of man’s nature in this historically accurate novel.
