We had high hopes for this one, but alas the reviews tricked us.
From the Cross, Jesus entrusted John, the youngest disciple, with the welfare of his mother Mary. Over thirty years later, as Jerusalem explodes in rebellion and violence, John receives another calling. A calling he does not want. Will he listen and follow? And if he does, will it be too late? In 62 AD, the Jewish high priest executes James, the brother of Jesus, triggering a bitter fight for power in Jerusalem that shatters the quiet life of John. The Jewish people he loves are making dangerous choices that could change the land of Israel forever. Should he stay in Jerusalem and help hold off the Roman legions? Or is it time to reach out to those beyond Israel's borders? If he chooses to leave, what will be his message to these foreign believers? What new words of comfort could he possibly share?

Here's hoping I make it 18 more days until my last day of school!!
