Woven into the fabric of prophecy, a young boy named Nehemiah must choose to embrace his destiny as cupbearer to the King of Kings.
When Nehemiah, the child of Jewish exiles, begins hearing whispers and experiencing portentous visions, it quickly becomes clear to his father and his rabbi that the young cupbearer is meant for a higher purpose… but what? Certain that the Messiah is alive at that … alive at that very moment, the family waits for the boy’s destiny to be revealed.
From the ancient site of the Garden of Eden, Nehemiah undertakes a perilous journey. The caravan route is full of danger, hardship, and mystery — all of it linked to what Nehemiah has in his keeping.
In due time, his path becomes clear. It leads to Jerusalem, to a wealthy Pharisee named Joseph of Arimathea… and to Jesus of Nazareth.
In Take This Cup, the second installment of the Jerusalem Chronicles, Bodie & Brock Thoene envision more of Scripture’s most enigmatic moments and expand their award-winning canon of historical fiction with unprecedented power and depth.

I loved it. The book tells an amazing though fictional account of the cup bearer for Jesus. It’s based on reality and is haunting.
Very good . Hard to put down
Great story. Some unrealistic, but enjoyable areas. Really enjoyed the book
A great read. Christian based fiction. I got this for free through Bookbub and liked the writing and content so much that I purchased the first in his series …When Jesus Wept.
All of the Thoene’s books that I have read have enthralled me to the point I didn’t want to eat or sleep until I finished them. Brock does years of research so the historical events are accurate, then Bodie weaves a story around them that draws you effortlessly into the past. The characters become so real I always feel as if I had met them …
Loved the storyline. Writer made you feel like you were right there with Nehi as he lived in the mountains and then his escape to Jerusalem where he met Biblical characters including Jesus of Nazareth. Looking forward to reading the next book.
Excellently written with interest and attention to scripture.
Bodie Theone is my favourite author! Her historical fiction books are so well researched! As a result, I learn so much about history when reading Bodie Thorne.
Truly a work of biblical fiction but an exciting story with a lot of twists and turns
LOVE IT! LOVE EVERYTHING THOENE WRITES!
I love the Thoemes’ books in years past. This particular one really bogged down and was not enjoyable to read. The subject matter of the book was enjoyable however.
I could’nt put this novel down. The author brings you to the heart of Christianity in a wonderfully poignant, human way. Loved all the characters and believability throughout.
Awesome! I loved its versatility!
Loved this book. It was hard to put down even though I was so sleepy my eyes were closing.
