5.0 out of 5 stars
great book,
By Nicholas "empty_jug" (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Father Elijah: An Apocalypse (Paperback)
I'm not much of a reader. I'm not even a Catholic. But I read this book (and Sophia House) cover to cover in just a few days, I really couldn't put it down. When I did put it down to go to work, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I think what does it for me is that this book isn't easy. This is hard to explain for me. But I think that what really turns me off of Christianity is that there is so much: 'this is the way ,PERIOD' no ifs or buts. But the characters in these stories have strong doubts, and very challenging questions.I think in the end the book doesn't leave you with an answer, but with inspiration.

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.
