Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Way to take a Biblical story and turn it into an interesting piece of fiction. I can't remember the name of the book, but a few years ago I read a novel "narrated" by the wife of Jesus. It was quite controversial, of course, but it was an accurate and interesting accounting of how women of Jesus' time lived and were treated by the community.
Love your inventive story - one never knows what they're going to get from you, except that it will be well-told.

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Fabulous concept and great work putting it together.
Who wouldn't believe?!
But we get to believe without having the 'proof-positive' right in front of us. We get to actually engage faith.
God bless you.

Thank you Wayne. The religious leaders were quite hypocritical, and arrogant in their belief system, but jealous of Him and His following. They didn't believe because they would not accept that He could be right. Thanks for your thoughtful and insightful review.

Comment from Judy Lawless
I like the way you've taken a story from the Bible and written it into a supernatural story, Wendy. I do recall many such stories from the Bible. I wonder why we don't hear about any of these things happening now. Well done.

Thanks so much Judy. I do at times hear of supernatural healing events. After considerable prayer for her, (mainly for her to have peace before surgery, and a speedy recovery) one friend's large cancerous tumour had disappeared, the day before her surgery was scheduled. The specialists were amazed, and no-one could explain it. Sometimes it still happens I think, but then it was for Jesus to establish his ministry and show He was sent by God to fulfil His purpose on earth. Thanks so much for your thoughtful review.

You?re most welcome, Wendy.
Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
You have reiterated one of the stories of the bible, putting it into a familial context, and showing it from the point of view of the people who could have been around at Jesus's time. As we have seen for other tales, the discord between those who believed in Jesus and those who wanted to discredit him is highlighted.

I never understood why they doubted his miracles and teachings. Satan truly had his claws deep within them. What a wonderfully written POV of this story in the Bible. Very unique.
Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Comment from Susan Newell
Wendy,
I wish I had a six left for this. I love the way you took a core of truth and surrounded it with a believable "rounding out" of a more complete story. This is perfectly written and a perfect exemplar for the day-to-day miracles we all receive, if we just open our own eyes to seeing them.

Comment from Theodore McDowell
Great story for the prompt. I love the way you personalized the biblical story and added some depth to the account from a different point of view.
Well done and well-crafted.
