“Page-turning . . . Set against the political and religious turmoil of the times, the Thoenes’ story vividly reimagines the evolving friendship between Jesus and Lazarus.” —Publishers WeeklyLAZARUS—the man Jesus raised from the dead in one of the most extraordinary encounters with The Living Savior in all of Scripture. But the life of Lazarus holds interest well beyond this miraculous event. … well beyond this miraculous event. Living in Bethany, near Jerusalem, Lazarus witnessed many of the most important events of Jesus’s life and ministry.
Lazarus owned a vineyard and devoted his life to caring for its vines and fruit. But he encountered another man—Jesus—whose vineyard was the world, its fruit the eternal souls of men. When Lazarus’s story and the story of Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection touch in When Jesus Wept, we are offered a unique vision into the power and comfort of Christ’s love.
Brock and Bodie Thoene’s most powerful and climactic writing project to date, When Jesus Wept, captures the power and the passion of the men and women who lived through the most important days in the history of the world.

Excellent historical fiction. Stays true to known history, especially Biblical accounts. Provides an in-depth look at Jesus from the perspective of Lazarus (brother of Mary & Martha), who is pictured here as the owner of a vinyard.
This book gives flesh to the bible.
Great read, but I didn’t think the book always followed scripture.
Loved it
Beautiful possible narrative of the friendships surrounding Jesus and the Lazarus story from Lazarus’ viewpoint.
This is one of my favorite authors. I have read everything she has written. However this book is just a repeat of part of her wonderful 12 book series called The AD Chronicles. It’s almost as if she couldn’t think of anything else to write about and was pressured by her publisher into coming up with another book.
Wonderful writing
This book is very well-written. The characters were well rounded and believable. It is a great adaptation of the bible story, told in every day language. I will invest in the other books in the series.
I’ve enjoyed these authors for over 25 years. Such great reading.
I love all of Bodie and Brock Thoene’s books. They give depth to my favorite bible stories.
Makes the things we know of Jesus and John the Baptist come alive. I would recommend this book!
Brock and Bodie Thoene combine the best of research and writing. I highly recommend every book they’ve written!
THIS COUPLE R 2 OF THE BEST CHRISTIAN HISTORICAL FICTION WRITERS EVER..I HAVE READ 40 OR SO OF THEIR BOOKS AND LOVED EVERY ONE WHILE LEARNING SO MUCH…MUST READES FOR GROWING CHRISTIANS…
Great historical/fiction story.
I enjoy the Thorne books that make scriptural history come to life!
Not as good as some of their series.
I recommend any book written by these authors they cover all times in history. Every story and time period I have read I am there experiencing everything. The best!!
Different thoughts about Lazarus death and resurrection and why “Jesus wept”. Excellent book like all their others.
