Wonderful, heart warming, a must read!

Noni Beth Gibbs has taken one very small character from the bible and given insight as to how his life might have been lived out before and after Jesus' touch. She reminds us that even though this person is only mentioned shortly in scripture, he had a real life with a beginning, middle and end...just as everyone does. Thought provoking and told with a kind, unjudgmental tone. A lovely story on it's own, with or without scriptural basis (which only added to the telling, imo).

Couldn't put it down!!!

This book gives such a unique view of the life of Jesus from the eyes of his enemies. I found myself unable to put the book down and my heart racing over the excitment of the story.

Wonderful story of an enemy of Jesus

The story is told from the point of view of Malchus, a servant of a high priest of Israel. His job is to spy on Jesus. The story of his brush with the Lord is touching and unforgettable. I didn't want the book to end.
