Explore the interwoven lives of King Herod and Mary, Mother of Jesus as New York Times bestselling author Kathie Lee Gifford brings these biblical figures into a new light. Follow Herod from boyhood as he strives and fails throughout his life to become a beloved king. Walk in the steps of Mary of Nazareth as she navigates the repercussions of Herod’s deadly obsession.
Delve into the complex history of Herod the Great—his rise to power and ultimate fall in pursuit to be the “King of the Jews.” Under a flourishing yet tumultuous background of Jerusalem, consider Mary of Nazareth’s place under Herod’s rule and the promise of a Messiah to free her people. Kathie Lee Gifford with Bryan M. Litfin, Ph.D. deftly weave a truthful historical narrative full of accurate details and sweeping prose that ushers in the true King and glorifies God’s powerful plan to bring a savior into the world through unlikely means. A coda between the authors, full of honest revelation and insightful meaning, follows each chapter for added in-depth reading.
The first installment in the Ancient Evil, Living Hope series, Herod and Mary begins with the tragic life of King Herod—Christianity’s first true persecutor. As an impressionable boy, he is forever marked by the raw power of Rome. Throughout the course of Herod’s career, he gains power, fame, and riches beyond belief. Yet murderous intrigues stalk this man—and infect his own dark soul.
Under the rule of King Herod, Jerusalem becomes a prominent city of wealth and prosperity, but Mary saw the struggle of her people under a tyrant. Like all Jewish women, she knew the promises of Torah and longed for a deliverer. But no one could have prepared her for what the angel of God revealed: that the Messiah wouldn’t arrive with the blaring of trumpets, the clash of arms, or the fanfare of a mighty host. He would arrive as an infant within her own womb. The light of the world was born in a cave: not a king who maims and destroys, but the gentle King of the Jews.
This riveting narrative nonfiction work reveals deep insight to how Herod came to power, how corruption and an ancient evil threatened the stability of a nation, and how a teenage Mary was called to traverse these obstacles to bring the Savior, Jesus, our living hope, into the world.

What an incredible read! This book masterfully blends history, facts, and thrilling true events. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Chapter 5 gave me chills—Herod is promoted to King while Anna and her husband Joachim cry out to God for a miracle. Even as darkness advances and evil seems to prevail, God is always at work in human history. He heard Anna’s cries, and Mary was conceived.
Dear Reader, never underestimate the power of your prayers or lose heart in the face of evil’s ‘advancement.’ God has a plan, and His plan for your life is always better.
Thank you, Kathie Lee Gifford and Dr. Bryan Litfin, PhD, for this work of art. Please turn this into a movie. 10 out of 10!
Jesus Paid it all for you, me, past, present and future generations.

I felt the book was just ok. It’s just a bunch of drama in the life of Herod. I did find some of it somewhat interesting, but overall got bored. There didn’t seem to be much of a point. Mary is only talked about a very small amount. What actually bothered me the most about this book was the comments from Kathy and her son in the last chapters. As a Christain I was surprised at a lot of what she said, and her perspectives, I found to be pretty distasteful! Also, there is no free return unless you can get to a UPS store.

Riveting historical narrative. I particularly appreciated that the book includes a chronology, the Herodian Family Tree, and a few maps. The coda at the end is as good as the tale itself. Incredibly though-provoking, and about a third of the book, in the Coda the two authors go back and forth on various aspects of the story.
