5 Stars: (Professional Review)

"I would give the book ten stars out of five, but I'm afraid I wouldn't do it justice!

This book is a nourishing feast for the mind and soul. The amount of research that went into it is obvious in the vivid descriptions of ancient places and important figures in the time of Christ.

What I love the most about this book is its refreshingly human, yet reverent portrayal of Jesus. Yes, he is the Son of God, but in this book, readers get to see Him both in all His divine glory and all His vibrant humanity.

A lot of people seem to find it hard to portray Jesus as a fully human being with fully divine power, and I find it refreshing that the author found the inspiration to portray Christ as He should be portrayed: as Someone whom it is very easy to love."

"What kind of 'dudes' did Jesus hang out with? This volume will tell you.

A very real, rough, earthy and probably accurate look at Jesus and his disciples. Has to be the first account of Jesus having a dog.

As the story unfolds, we learn that Jesus hung out with a rough and rowdy crowd. Very likely to be true.

As a special bonus, a very poetic rendering of the first chapter of John is at the end of the book. A real pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Read it!"

"Even if the reader realizes that there's some fiction intertwined with facts, this unusual page turner depicts the life of Jesus so uniquely that it was hard for me to put it down.

Now more than ever, our celebrity hung-up society needs to read stories like 'The Justus Scrolls.'

I highly recommend it."

Awesome Christian fiction. Couldn't put it down!

This is one of the very best Christian fiction books I have ever read.

The author (Morris), employs a disciple, one Joseph bar Sabbas -- called Justus, to tell the story. Justus was a man who loved and followed Jesus for almost four years. He was one of two men the apostles selected to replace Judas Iscariot after his betrayal and suicide. But of the two, Justus was not the one chosen.

Did this mean that God had something else in mind for Justus?

While Justus tells the same story as the Gospel writers, he speaks more of the human side of Jesus. Jesus chose rough men -- waterfront toughs -- for His apostles. They talked rough, probably drank too much and like most men, sometimes acted like children.

The book has everything; love, hate, laughter, pain and best of all, redemption. I loved it and recommend it to everyone.

You can't help but feel that you are actuallly there."
