One man. One tomb. One quiet act that changed the course of history.

When the sun set on the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the world fell silent. The crowds dispersed. The soldiers stood watch. And in that sacred silence, one man—a figure mentioned only briefly in the Gospels—stepped forward with quiet courage and unwavering faith.

This is the story of Joseph of Arimathea, the man who gave Jesus his tomb.

In this deeply moving and spiritually rich narrative, Amanda Hade invites listeners to step into the soul of a man often overshadowed in scripture. A member of the Sanhedrin and a secret follower of Christ, Joseph risked reputation, safety, and legacy to give Jesus a place of rest—a tomb carved from stone, reserved for himself, now offered in love.

What You’ll Discover in This Book:

• A vivid retelling of Joseph’s inner transformation, from cautious council member to bold disciple
• A spiritually grounded reflection on faith in times of fear, silence, and grief
• Rich historical and biblical context on burial rites, Jewish customs, and Roman occupation
• The emotional burden of witnessing the crucifixion and preparing Christ’s body for burial
• Insights into Joseph’s possible journey to Britain, his connection to the Holy Grail legends, and early Christian missions
• A poetic meditation on sacrifice, humility, and the cost of hidden faith
