Jude
A New Testament historical biblical fiction about Jude, a brother of Jesus, set in 1st-century Israel.
He revered the teachers of Israel. Then he saw what they were hiding.
Jude ben Joseph was born with a scholar's mind and a laborer's hands. His family needed his work more than his learning, and the dream of becoming a respected Rabbi always stayed just beyond his reach.
He studied anyway.
After his oldest brother's death and miraculous resurrection, Jude begins setting the Scriptures he loves beside the radical teachings of Jesus, and the two fit together in ways he never expected. The more he understands, the more troubling the religious leaders of Jerusalem appear.
Jude has honored these men his entire life. Now he sees the wolves moving quietly among the sheep, and he must weigh the traditions that shaped him against the truth his brother died for.
Dive into the world remade by the resurrection in this gripping story of conviction and courage in Jude, Book 4 of the Servant Siblings series.

What Readers Are Saying:
"Jennifer is so gifted in portraying what could have happened in the household of Jesus. Though Lydia's story had a raw component to the suffering endured by early Christians, Jude has his own battles to face. I found the unfolding of needy believers as the church grew and the problems that developed presented in a fascinating narrative that fit so well with the story of Jude."
—Hal, Amazon
"I got totally caught up in this story. I haven't read the earlier books in the series, and now I need to, because this was so good, and there were hints of backstory that I want to explore. But I was never lost, and it worked well as a standalone story. Jude is full of the enthusiasm and the uncertainty of a new believer. I thoroughly enjoyed watching him read familiar passages of scripture and discover his brother there, plain as day."
—Aryn, GoodReads
"...I was invested in the story and character immediately. It held my interest through the entire book. I will definitely be reading the first three books of the series. The author has an inviting style of writing. Her pace is even and the material kept my attention. It is obvious she did extensive research. This is a well planned, well written novel..."
