The Last Years of the Lord's Ministry Recounted
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- The second volume of bestselling author
Gerald N. Lund's latest series of historic novels is now available.
The Kingdom and the Crown, vol. 2: Come Unto Me (Shadow Mountain,
$26.95, book on cassettes $39.95), is the follow up novel to last
year's The Kingdom and the Crown, vol. 1, Fishers of Men, which has
sold more than 100,000 copies, making it the bestselling first volume
of an LDS historic series ever.
In Come Unto Me, Simeon of Capernaum wrestles with how to undo the
damage wrought by his reluctant conversion to a man named Jesus of
Nazareth. A similar dilemma faces Miriam of Jerusalem, whose father,
along with the other leaders of the powerful Sanhedrin, are
determined to stamp out the growing popularity of this preacher from
Nazareth.
This is the background for author Gerald N. Lund's second novel in
his bestselling The Kingdom and the Crown series. Lund continues his
dramatic account of Christ's ministry, as seen through the eyes of
those who would follow him. From the Galilee to Jerusalem to the
great city of Rome, Come Unto Me tells the story of the people whose
lives are forever changed by the teachings of a simple carpenter from
Nazareth. Lund masterfully blends the biblical account of the
greatest story ever told with unforgettable fictional characters in
this dramatic epic.
Thoroughly researched and fully documented with historical citations
and a bibliography, Come Unto Me is the long-awaited follow up to
last fall's Fishers of Men, a book featured in more than 200
newspapers nationwide.
