This audio book, For the Temple, is set in Palestine in the time of the revolt against Roman authority in AD 70. The main character, John, is a boy of about sixteen who lives by the Lake of Galilee. After a storm brings John and his soon-to-be wife onto the same ship as the governor, Josephus, his life changes from a quiet farm existence to one of action and peril. As the Romans approach, the governor turns traitor and the people are left without a leader. John makes many marvelous escapes from places where there were no survivors. After this he is looked upon as someone who is specially favored by God. John gathers a band and harasses the Roman army, and finally leads his band to Jerusalem where he fights For the Temple, finding out on the way about Jesus Christ.
