Ben-Hur A Tale of the Christ

The great-great-granddaughter of the original author has taken the old-fashioned prose of this classic and breathed new life into it for today's audience. It follows Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish nobleman whose childhood friend Messala betrays him. Accused of trying to murder the new Roman governor in Jerusalem, Judah is sentenced to the galley ships and vows to seek revenge against the Romans and Messala. But a chance encounter with a carpenter from Nazareth sets Judah on a different path.
