Synopsis
The servants who filled the jars at Jesus’ command when he turned the water into wine, the boy who donated his loaves and fishes so Jesus could multiply them, the woman with the alabaster jar who anointed Jesus’ feet. All these and many more characters in the Gospels share one important trait: in the biblical accounts where they appear, they are silent. We have no record of their words. Nevertheless, they have much to say to us by the ways they responded to Christ. Take a journey of the imagination with author Allan Wright, back to New Testament times, to consider what kinds of lives these people might have lived and what lessons we might learn from the Silent Witnesses in the Gospels.

July 24, 2004: Our scripture group has been using this book for the past month and not only does Wright provide nice insights that are challenging but it's great for discussion starters as well. I now know what I giving for birthdays and Christmas.

February 22, 2004: I loved this book because it forced me to look at the side characters who were present during the life of Christ and made a difference. I found myself reading each chapter and then'mulling over Wrights' insights and it lead me to see where I could apply these lessons in my own life. One of the best books concerning scripture I've read in a long time in which I could easily read and apply.
