4.0 out of 5 stars
Sets a new standard for apocalyptic literature,
By Robert Knetsch "Wanna-be theologian" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Father Elijah: An Apocalypse (Paperback)
I these days of the Left Behind series literary fiasco, it is refreshing to read a book that is not only theologically thoughtful, but extrememly well written and fascinating. There is an odd but effective mixture of horror mixed with remarkably deep Christian meaning in addition to adept social commentary. Anyone who takes Christianity seriously and who has a certain amount of introspection (which the Left Behind series does NOT appeal to) will love this series.A warning to my fellow protestants: this book is unabashedly Catholic. If you are uncomfortable with minor Mary veneration and a greater focus on relics, you may sometimes be annoyed. However, given the reality of history, this is an accurate reflection on a Catholic approach to Christianity. Moreover, it does not fail at being Christocentric. Read and enjoy!

totally catholic and totally awesome,
By A Customer
This review is from: Father Elijah: An Apocalypse (Paperback)
Fr. Elijah is an awesome book that is captivating, exciting, real, and faithful to the teachings of the Magesterium of the Church. It's inspiring to see the humanness of priests and a real life example of how we are supposed to live out our Catholic faith here on earth.
5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the most profound books I have read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Father Elijah: An Apocalypse (Paperback)
I recieved this book for Christmas, and although I am only about half-way through, I can not tell you how impressed I am with this book. Not only is it beautifully written, but it is spiritually up-lifting. I keep forgetting that Father Elijah isn't real! One becomes very attached to the main characters. I recommend this book to everyone, whole-heartedly. This is among those books that forever touch a person.
