The Weeping Chamber
Author: Sigmund Brouwer
Subject: a novel about the cross
Review: Sigmund Brouwer has written an exciting novel that follows a man, named Simeon, as he travels to Jerusalem for the Passover.  He is wrestling with trials in his life, and is struggling with whether or not to take his own life.  He happens to arrive in Jerusalem at the same time Yeshua (Jesus of Nazareth) arrives on the back of a donkey.  The novel follows Simeon as he interacts with the events surrounding the week leading up to Christ's death on the cross.  This book provides a fresh look at the Passion week.  A fun, and moving book to read.
