The Innkeeper's Wife

 One family, torn apart by the birth of a baby 

and the jealous rage of a king.

 

“Why didn’t the angel warn us?” Tamara demands when soldiers kill her baby boy in their search for the one born king of the Jews.

 

Her older son Shimon heard the angels proclaim the birth of a Savior, but what can a baby do against such evil? Better to join the Zealots, plotting revolution in the mountains of the North.

 

Little Tirza has known the truth since the night her baby cousin was laid in their manger, but that truth is locked in the silence and fear that have imprisoned her since she witnessed her baby brother’s brutal murder.

 

Thirty years after that terrible day, the baby in the manger has grown up. When he walks out of the desert, gaunt and sunburned, he changes everything.


The Innkeeper’s Wife uses Hebrew and Aramaic names to jolt you out of thinking that you already know this story. Most of Yeshua’s dialogue comes straight from the Bible, bringing the familiar stories to life. 


If you enjoyed The Chosen, you won’t want to miss this fresh look at the life and times of God’s promised Messiah.
