Herod and Mary: The True Story of the Tyrant King and the Mother of the Risen Savior

This book delves into the complex history of Herod the Great—his rise to power through political intrigue with figures like Mark Antony and Cleopatra, his paranoia leading to the murder of innocents, and his ultimate fall despite striving to be the 'King of the Jews.

' It contrasts Herod's self-absorbed, power-hungry life with Mary of Nazareth's humility and faith as she navigates his deadly rule to bring the Savior into the world.

Drawing from historical and biblical sources, Kathie Lee Gifford and Bryan M. Litfin reveal deep insights into corruption, ancient evil, and the promise of living hope through Jesus.
