\\\"That was the first day I saw him, the man who would become my greatest friend.\\\"


\\\"They will say that I betrayed him, that I reduced his price to thirty silver shekels.\\\"


Anyone who knows the biblical account of the life of Jesus knows the pivotal role Judas Iscariot played in sealing Jesus\\\' fate. But what if there was another side to the story you thought you knew. In Iscariot, author Tosca Lee masterfully creates just that scenario by giving one of biblical history\\\'s most disliked and obscure figure a voice - transforming him into a living, feeling human being.


Iscariot takes you on a journey of intense emotions as you follow Judas through his tragic childhood under Roman rule to his adult life as a devout Jew eagerly anticipating the coming of the promised Messiah and finally through the last chapter of his life as a follower of Jesus. You will be left in awe at the fierce love and adoration Judas expresses towards Jesus. You\\\'ll almost feel the tormented internal conflict Judas struggles with each and every time his Master - healer and performer of signs - breaks the very laws he is expected to \\\"fulfill\\\".


History has been written in the scrolls and athough we can\\\'t change the ending, Ms. Lee will keep you hanging on every word until you get there and have you hoping for a different outcome.
