What does it take to fight for what you believe in?
The First Book of Maccabees tells the powerful true story of how the Jewish people rose up against the mighty Seleucid Empire to reclaim their faith, freedom, and homeland. Spanning decades of conflict, this historical and spiritual epic follows Mattathias and his sons—especially the legendary Judah Maccabee—as they lead a courageous revolt and restore the Temple in Jerusalem, giving birth to the festival of Hanukkah.
This modern translation preserves the rich historical detail and stirring narrative of the original while making it clear and engaging for today's listeners.
What you'll discover inside:
What does it mean to stand against oppression? How far would you go to defend your beliefs?
Get your copy today and relive the inspiring legacy of the Maccabees.
