The Ear of the Servant: The Story of Malchus
ByPublisher Description
In the Garden of Gethsemane, under torchlight and betrayal, a servant named Malchus came to arrest Jesus of Nazareth.
In the chaos, a sword was drawn — and a miracle happened.
With one final act before His crucifixion, Jesus reached out and healed the man who came against Him. The last physical miracle He performed on earth was not for a follower, but for an enemy.
The Ear of the Servant: The Story of Malchus reimagines that moment and the life that followed — as Malchus witnesses the trials, the cross, the empty tomb, and the birth of the church. Through his eyes, we see how one quiet act of mercy can echo through history.
Told in lyrical, cinematic prose, this novel explores redemption, faith, and the unstoppable reach of divine grace. Malchus's story reminds us that even in the darkest night, the touch of Christ still heals, restores, and calls us by name.

About David Price
David Price is an investigative author and theologian who applies the discipline of forensic analysis to both faith and culture. Through his imprint Old Grackle Media, he has published works that bridge journalism, theology, and philosophy—uncovering how truth is revealed or distorted across institutions, ideologies, and belief systems.
A lifelong student of Scripture and history, Price developed the concept of Forensic Theology, a framework testing every claim for biological, psychological, and theological coherence—a truth-detection method designed to expose counterfeit gospels and confirm authentic faith.
Originally from California and now based in Texas, he writes from both conviction and experience, having witnessed firsthand how politics, media, and theology collide to shape the modern Church.
His work calls believers back to a Gospel that can withstand investigation—because truth, when tested, never fails.
