The Silver Chalice: A Novel Audiobook

" I can't believe I was only eleven when I read this, but it was listed on an old paper I found that had a list of books I read when I was eleven, so I guess I was. It's a good book no matter what age you read it, though. "

" One beautiful scene. Other than that, pretty crummy. "

" Me and my sweetie stumbled across this author while exploring a used book sale. His stuff is out of print now but what yummy reading! I love this kind of literature. You get lost in the richness of the words, descriptions, etc. "

" This was a beautiful book-so interesting, suspenseful, a love story between the characters & with God. I was very impressed with the book!! "

" Another Costain book I read and loved as a teenager. "

" Great view of the early church and very moving conversion story. One of Costain's best! "

" Good story about Jesus' time. Difficult read. "

" If you like historical fiction, especially the early Christian church, Costain is your guy. "

" I enjoyed this book. It became a little drawn out in places but overall a good read. "

" A similar tale as 'The Robe.' A bit slow in the progress, but I enjoyed it to the end. "

" A Christian classic, The Silver Chalice reminded me of what the early Christians suffered for the Faith and how today we are still tested in what we believe. "

" This book really made me think about the Savior and his Disciples in a different light. I enjoyed it. "

" My uncle gave me a very aged copy of this book... he recommended I read it, and I was so glad he did... this is a MUST READ for anyone who enjoys historical fiction, and Arthurian/quest for Holy Grail type books... "

" Another one read in high school, and I loved it! "

" Young man sold into slavery after adoption by wealthy father; learns the silver craft and is taken to Joseph of Arimethea, making a protective chalice for Jesus. In story line, he is with Luke and Paul and meets Peter in Rome. A little too 'catholicish'. "

" An enjoyable book, that will be liked by people who like biblical fiction. Costain is a good story teller. It is gentler than Ben Hur or The Robe, but still had a movie made about it starring Paul Neuman. I have never seen it. "

" An historical fictional novel that has an interesting plot with plausible characters and events. "

" I read Costain for a long time, but never this one. The new edition is a door-stop, but his prose lilts and hypnotizes the reader. Check our "The Tontine" too. "

" Wow! Reading this book was a great experience. Its story line, the characters, everything makes you so indulged in them that you forget about your outside world. The narration is quite excellent. A must Read One! "

" I read this book in high school and again just recently, it a great story about the cup Jesus used at the last supper and what could have become of it "

" I've read this book over and over again and just recently found it in a still unpacked pile of books and read it immediately. I love historical fiction and fiction about the early Church is pretty cool. "

" This was a great book. Religious fiction tends to be light on the writing quality but this book was great in nearly every way. "

" I read this back in the late seventies. I remember it as being pretty much the same as "The Robe," "Quo Vadis," and "Ben-Hur." "

" read all three thomas costain books as an 8th grader while listening to Love Shack by the B-52s "

" I read this a long time ago and think I would love it as much today as I did then. "

" Read this book in about 7th grade when I was very interested in this genre; many years later, I don't remember the plot so well, but I do remember that I really liked this book and author. "

" A couple of people suggested this book to me because it takes place in the early christian era, which is where I've been setting a lot of my fiction lately. But I just couldn't get into it. "

" Good story about Jesus' time. Difficult read. "

" Not quite as good as his other book, The Robe. But I still enjoyed it. It started out really good and ended really well; the middle was just really SLOW moving. "

" Like all Costain Books, very inspiring and thought provoking. Read it years ago. "

" I've read this book over and over again and just recently found it in a still unpacked pile of books and read it immediately. I love historical fiction and fiction about the early Church is pretty cool. "
