The whole city gained a Messiah. He lost a brother.
James ben Joseph never believed Jesus was a rebel. Reckless with His words, perhaps, and impossible to reason with, but never a man deserving of a cross.
He traveled to Jerusalem for Passover hoping to persuade his older brother to abandon His dangerous teaching and come home to Nazareth. Instead he watched betrayal, arrest, and crucifixion unfold, and when the moment came to stand beside his own blood, James turned away to protect his family.
Now the city is alive with a claim he cannot allow to spread. They are saying Jesus has risen. Every day the rumor survives brings his mother, his brothers, and his sisters closer to the same fate.
Determined to shield them, James sets out to find whoever is spreading these words. What he uncovers will force a decision that changes everything.
Step into the world of first-century Jerusalem and follow James on his journey of faith in James, Book 1 of the Servant Siblings series.
