About this listen

Lazarus occupies a surprising position in the Gospel accounts. Widely known as the man Jesus raised from the dead, his story is actually much broader and richer than that. Living as he did at Bethany, near Jerusalem, Lazarus was uniquely placed to witness the swirl of events around Jesus.

When Jesus Wept, the first novel in The Jerusalem Chronicles series by best-selling authors Bodie and Brock Thoene, unfolds the turbulent times in Judea during Jesus' ministry, centering on the friendship between Jesus and Lazarus. With rich insights from vineyard owners and vine dressers, the Thoenes explore the metaphor of Jesus as the True Vine, harvesting the ancient secrets found in the Old Testament.

Weaving the life of Lazarus, who owned a vineyard, into the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ will help you understand it is the hand of Love Divine that holds the knife, that cuts and breaks with such tender and loving touch, and that we who have borne some fruit, after the pruning, can bear much more.

Where does When Jesus Wept rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Number 1, as a Christian, this book made me smile a lot because it explained things like the author was there seeing through Lazarus' eyes. This book made me go back to read the gospel, to connect the dots, and indeed, the Thoenes surprised me with all that information.

Loved every minute of the story written outside the normal range of New Testament thought that provided a rich, insightfully different perspective on the story of Lazarus and Christ. Beautiful to hear during the season of Christmas.

Intriguing Storytelling

Loved the entire book! It was more than a great rest- it was an experience. The narrator was awesome. Seeing Lazarus in this light changed my entire perspective about him and his sisters. Lazarus' transition and his summons to return blessed me beyond more than I could ever express. This book would make a great movie😍

I would recommend this book to anyone.

Would you listen to When Jesus Wept again? Why?

I would absolutely listen to Jesus Wept again. Not only was the story brilliantly written, but the narrator was fantastic! From three sentences into this audiobook, I was pulled in and didn't want to stop until it was finished.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I found myself connecting to all of the main characters in this story so it's hard to say who was my favorite. They are all very well built and could easily stand on their own. I suppose if I were forced to chose one I would have to say Lazarus was my favorite. No only does he get the most exposure, but his character was brilliant.

Have you listened to any of D. J. Canaday’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I have not but I would love to hear him again. His narration truly made this audio enjoyable.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did find myself weeping during one major scene and tearing up in several others. Overall, I was in absolute awe. As soon as you hear the prologue you will understand. The writing is absolutely breathtaking. The imagery, out of this world. Fiction or not, this story will leave you feeling like you've gotten a glimpse of eternity.

Any additional comments?

I do wish that there were more audiobooks available for Brodie and Brock Thoene's work! If they were narrated as well as this one, I would undoubtedly purchase them all.

Magnificent

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would highly recommend this book. It is an entertaining story that continues to hold you from beginning to end. I found it refreshing & gave me new insight & understanding to many familiar story & parables told by Jesus. Of course it is a fictional story but based of scripture. I can't wait till they release vol 2 of the Jerusalem Chronicles!

Great story!
