"I thoroughly enjoyed Malachi's Child. What an interesting twist on the gospels. I could hardly put it down. It was written so compelling and interestingly that it truly can be considered a good novel. Throughout . . . I wondered where the author got the information for so much detail. I could actually visualize the scenes . . . great reading." - Marion Simmons, Port St. Joe, Florida
