Servant Siblings

Jesus changed millions of lives; his was one of the first. After conflict and betrayal result in the arrest of Jesus, James is forced to turn his back on his brother. Sentenced to death by crucifixion, Jerusalem is painted with his brother’s blood. James’ mourning is met with fear when whispers of Jesus’ resurrection fill the streets. Obligated to take charge of a divided family, James must protect his siblings from blood-thirsty Rome and a pious council until they can flee the riotous city.

Can a family divided by a risen Messiah be put back together? After Jesus’ murder, Joseph’s family split. His mother remained with his brother’s followers despite a death sentence hanging over their heads. When his older brother claims to see Jesus alive, he wants them to stay in Jerusalem to join the disciples. Joseph wants the family to return to the safety of Nazareth. The problem is, he’s not the patriarch. Amidst the tide of division, one of his siblings goes missing.
