About this listen
What happens with the hard line between life and death blurs?
When Joseph of Arimathea took Yeshua's corpse off the cross and placed it in his own tomb, he risked everything he'd worked years for. But now, Yeshua's body is gone, and Joseph is running for his life.
Sister has never known anything but the lower city slums. She's a creature of the night, so base and inconsequential she's never even warranted a name. Welcome to first-century Jerusalem, where rumor and deceit rule the day. Step into the light and walk the ancient city side-by-side with the very first believers.
Feel what they felt. Risk what they risked. And find, with them, the unshakeable truth indelibly written across the heavens before time began - Yeshua changes everything. And everything is never what you expect.

Story
The ancient prophets said he would come. And for centuries the people watched, waited and hoped. He was to be the redeemer of Israel. The all-powerful King of Kings who would finally and decisively deliver the nation from the iron fist of Rome. Joseph of Arimathea is a wealthy man, but wealth can't buy peace. Nor the affection of the wife he loves. Nicodemus is a leader of Israel who will stop at nothing to find truth. Sadducee and Pharisee - two men, worlds apart, thrown together at the most critical moment in the history of the world.

Oh, for a simpler time! Paradise Jones dreams of the Hollywood glamour days. Clothes, hair, vintage car - you name it, she's got it. She's classic retro, a 21st-century image of her favorite golden era stars - Doris, Audrey, Esther, Marilyn. The entertainment rags call Paradise eccentric. The studios rarely call at all. When an altercation with her leering stepfather forces her to flee Los Angeles, Paradise leaves behind everything she loves and longs for.

When his wife, Angel, is killed in a head-on collision, Gomez Gomez feels he can't go on - so he doesn't. He spends his days in the bushes next to the crash site drinking Thunderbird wine and his nights cradling a coffee can full of Angel's ashes. Slow, sure suicide, with no one for company but the snakes, Elvis' ghost, and a strange kid named Bones. Across town, Father Jake Morales plays it safe, haunted by memories of the woman he left behind, hiding his guilt, loss, and love behind a thick wall of cassock and ritual.

My name will mean nothing to you, but my story is a re-telling of the greatest story ever told and should mean everything to everyone. My story comes forth now because now is the promised day when satanic doubt spreads like black ink, threatening to blot out His very name, to reduce Him to nothing more than a teacher, to erase the eternal truths He taught and Lived. That cannot happen. Jesus was who He said He was. I know because I was there in the shadows of His holy footsteps. His miracles were real. I know because I am one of those miracles.

Story
They're an iconic part of history's most celebrated birth. But what do we really know about the Three Kings of the Nativity, besides the fact that they followed a star to Bethlehem bearing strange gifts? The Bible has little to say about this enigmatic trio. But leave it to Seth Grahame-Smith, the brilliant and twisted mind behind Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to take a little mystery, bend a little history, and weave an epic tale.

Love it!
Love this book! I listened to The List first. I was a little disappointed that the voices were different. But after about an hour of listening I got over it. Such a great story, packed full of truth.

Disappointed
The first book in the series, the List, was one of the best audio books I've ever listened to. The quality of the writing and the quality of the voice acting were superb. In my opinion, this book fell way short on both counts. The person who read the book has a pleasant enough voice, but he is not a voice actor. So all the voices sounded exactly the same. I thought the writing was mediocre. You may think differently?

Not as good as The List
I loved The List (read it in paper form), so I was so excited to get to continue the story. The Light wasn’t near as good, but glad I went ahead and finished the series.
