Patrick Tilley I loved this book and I will read it again and again. The main plot in this novel is that when Christ died on the cross and was resurrected, he ends up in New York, during the 1980's. I don't want to give a lot of detail in the interest of not coloring a reader's viewpoint. I will say this book made me think, and made me view the man, Jesus, differently. There were spiritual things that were cleared up because of the writer's research when he wrote the book, historical facts I did not know. If you are devoutly Christian, this book might offend you, however no matter what walk in life we are on, reading a book that gives a different outlook, that blindfolds our preconceived prejudices, so to speak, is a good thing, I believe. This book has its share of humor, and I found it very touching and heartwarming also. It is considered Science Fiction and that was an interesting concept as well. Strangely, the best part of the book for me, was the ending, the last thing Jesus says to the main character Leo, is some of the most beautiful writing I have read. It was deeply touching to me. Also since this is a Science Fiction book, there is the time paradox that has we Science Fiction readers scratching our heads and going, 'what'? It is worth the read, by all means.
