Reviews

[Rachel Scamardella · Rating 4 out of 5]

Unbelievably original, thought-provoking, suspenseful, and timeless. This book was written in 1996, and I found it as relevant today as when I first read it 22 years ago. My only complaint about the book is that it is a little overwritten to the point where the vocabulary and description sometimes distract from the story. But overall, incredible read.

A piece where belief and mystery collide. What if Christ manifested in today's world. How would he be received? I was given this book by a local pastor. Probably to guard against a messianic complex. lol! No worries though. I'm not that type of teacher.
