Malchus

Summary: Incredibly thought-provoking
Review: A friend recommended I read this, and I am SO GLAD he did!!! I found the story of Malchus intriguing and the portrayal of the lives of the early Christians very thought-provoking. It was a book I couldn't wait to get back to each evening, and I found myself wanting to read more after I finished it. I have now purchased Driven, and find it hard to put down, also!

Summary: Doesn't get any better!
Review: I had never read historical fiction until this, and what I read was absolutely unforgettable! Through the eyes of Malchus, a servant of Caiaphas, and a skeptic, he finds out for himself who Jesus truly is. This book will make you think. What are you willing to stand up for? At what cost? Awesome! Beautiful picture of what Christianity is and should be all about!

Summary: VERY good book!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I have gotten into Christian fiction much more lately, because you get a good uplifting book without all the profanity and filth of other novels.

This book was excellent, it gave me an idea of how thing could have transpired between Malchus and Caipahas, and it was wonderful to see a work that put you right there with Jesus and other surrounding him.

I highly recommend this book!

Summary: enjoyable to read
Review: Interesting that author used not much used Malchus in only one verse (John 18:10) in the Bible with unknown background into a story that could have happened with some Biblical truth surrounding Jesus and scriptures interwined into a great novel.

What I like about this book is that author used characters in the story, who believed in Jesus, take a firm stand for what they believe in, no matter the circumstances to save themselves or to die for the truth and faith in Jesus. That's one way to help and encourage the Christian readers to spread Good News as well as non-Christian readers to learn more about Jesus while it's enjoyable to read at the same time.

To learn more about truth, it's best to read from the Bible and can use this Malchus novel as reference with scriptures being used and surroundings around Jesus' life in the novel.

Summary: Life changing version of the Greatest Story Ever Told
Review: Very rarely will I give 5 stars to 2 books from the same author. I had to read MALCHUS after reading Griffiths' DRIVEN, a 400 page thriller I read practically non-stop until the last word. I figured DRIVEN would be impossible to top but had to give him the chance. I still haven't decided which book I like best. Besides gripping me with suspence, lovable characters and excellent writing, DRIVEN stirred my conscious to wonderment. MALCHUS on the other hand has changed my way of thinking. The same excellent writing style, great characters (mostly non-fiction in this one) and touching moments that literally brought me to tears at times. I am a regular in the historical fiction genre, and this book is reaserched to the max. Where did Griffiths ever find the names of the actual priests that were plotting Jesus' arrest and their job descriptions in the temple? And half way through the book I was in a sweat, thinking if I put the book down the cosequenses of whatever was to happen next would be on my head. Breathtaking, really. After reading MALCHUS, all I wanted to do was read the Bible, which now seems more alive to me than ever. The best Christian writing I've ever read.
