Sever the Silver Cord — D.M. Griffin

He needed a plan. Orphaned by the age of fifteen, Lazarus of Bethany had to become a man able to handle the responsibilities of keeping his family together. With two younger sisters to care for and a large property to manage, Lazarus had to make a name for himself in the Temple. Following in the footsteps of his father, as a scribe Lazarus would soon find out that the Temple's inner workings were not as holy as he imagined. Forced to make compromises he knew were not in line with Yahweh's teaching, Lazarus quickly became disillusioned with the religious leaders. He entered into a battle between doing what was right and doing what was necessary for survival as an orphan. When a new Rabbi, named Yeshua of Nazareth, came on the scene in ancient Israel, factions arose. There were those who believed in Him and those who hated Him. With teaching that directly challenged the religious establishment that Lazarus was a part of, Yeshua was a force to reckon with. As a close friend of this new Rabbi, Lazarus did his best to keep their relationship hidden until Yeshua offered him a choice. Would Lazarus risk his position and everything he worked hard to achieve in life? Would he recognize THE WAY? Was he brave enough to follow Him? Book Three of The Life, The Truth, The Way Series
