Ben-Hur

Author: Lew Wallace

“Ben-Hur” by Lew Wallace is an epic tale that sweeps you into the heart of ancient Rome and Jerusalem. The story follows Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince betrayed by his childhood friend and sold into slavery. His journey from despair to redemption is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. I remember being captivated by the vivid descriptions and the intense chariot race that left me breathless. This classic novel is a timeless exploration of faith, revenge, and forgiveness.

To be proud and inaccessible is to be timid and weak.
