What reading level is The First Christmas From Ben Hur book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am of the line of David." These words held the Nazarene's hope. If they failed him, further appeal was idle, even that of the offer of many shekels. To be a son of Judah was one thing — in the tribal opin- ion a great thing; to be of the house of David was yet another ; on the tongue of a Hebrew there could be no higher boast. A thousand years and more had passed since the boyish shepherd became the successor of Saul and founded a royal family. Wars, calamities, oth- er kings, and the countle...ss obscuring proc- esses of time had, as respects fortune, lowered his descendants to the common Jewish level ; the bread they ate came to them of toil never more humble ; yet they had the benefit of his- tory sacredly kept, of which genealogy was the first chapter and the last ; they could not be- come unknown ; while, wherever they went in i Israel, acquaintance drew after it a respect ' amounting to reverence.
I If this were so in Jerusalem and elsewhere, certainly one of the sacred line might reason- ably rely upon it at the door of the khan of Bethlehem.
