A classic of faith, fortitude, and inspiration, this faithful New Testament tale combines the events of the life of Jesus with grand historical spectacle in the exciting story of Judah of the House of Hur, a man who finds extraordinary redemption for himself and his family.
Judah Ben-Hur lives as a rich Jewish prince and merchant in Jerusalem at the beginning of the first century. His old friend, Messala, arrives as commanding officer of the Roman legions. They become bitter enemies. Because of an unfortunate accident, Ben-Hur is sent as a slave in the mines, while his family is sent to leprosy caves. As Messala is dying from being crushed in a chariot race, he reveals where Ben-Hur's family is. On the road to find them, Ben-Hur meets the Christ as he is on the road to Golgotha to be crucified. That day changes Ben-Hur's life forever, for that is the day he becomes a believer.

Where does Ben-Hur rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This one audiobook I intend on keeping, so I can go back and listen again, & again.What other book might you compare Ben-Hur to and why?
The clash of cultures, the extreme cruelty, the passion, the ability to watch an old society function as a back-drop to this recognizable story. I thought that I knew it, but I didn't-not by half! Amazing story to listen to, & get really wrapped up in the characters and their lives, especially in the time of Christ-wow.Amazingly well-read

I recommend to read this book but it is not immediate read. If you want a quicker read, there is new version written by Lew Wallace's descendant that is abridged and updated but has many of the same elements. It is this version that the latest movie version used.
