Part 3 of the Christ Clone Trilogy: great ending,
This review is from: Acts of God, Book 3: Christ Clone Trilogy (Paperback)
I found the whole Trilogy to be surprisingly good read. The author JB has woven a wonderful tale and intermixed the right amount of adventure, well developed characters and story line. The plot is wonderful, with its twists and turns.I recommend the trilogy to everyone.

The worst of the triology,
By
This review is from: Acts of God: Book Three of the Christ Clone Trilogy (Hardcover)
The first two books of the triology were extremely well writen and did not give away the end in advance. They had one thinking that some good might come from the new age. Acts of god gave away the end too soon, shortly after the middle one could know that it was hopeless for the Antichrist and his followers.One other thing, while it would seem that the author himself believes what is writen in the bible. The end in Acts of God highly suggest an exclusive view as to who would go to heaven.

Darkness,
By Barbara (vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acts of God: Book Three of the Christ Clone Trilogy (Hardcover)
This last book in The Christ Clone Trilogy is, not surprisingly, built upon the foundation of error that was laid in the first two. I cannot emphasize enough that Mr BeauSeigneur lacks almost completely a true understanding of prophesied events and therefore must rely on his significant talents as an imaginative writer to incorporate the scriptures into this self-proclaimed work of fiction. Having said that I must admit I enjoyed the series because of its fast-paced and suspenseful nature but also because of some of his insights into the root necessity for the Tribulation and particularly his descriptions of the raw experience of some of the plagues, most notably his interpretation of the fifth vial plague. In Rev.16:10-11 it says:v.10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, v.11 And blasphemed YAHOWAH of Heaven because of their pains and sores, and repented not of their deeds. BeauSeigneur interprets this darkness comparable to the darkness that was one of the plagues of Egypt and I'm not sure if that is what it means but his description is so great it bears quoting. "Decker" is someone who has not repented to YAHOWAH but he hasn't taken the mark of the beast either and he wakes up to an inexplicable fear, "Drawn by the light, Decker rose from his bed to open the window. But as he looked out from his second-floor bedroom, the faceless terror that had awakened him took on a loathsome and ghastly form. Seeping upward out of the ground below his window and everywhere he could see, a hideous evil oozed like black puss, obscuring everything it covered. In only seconds it grew from simple puddling in the low-lying areas to a depth that obscured the ground completely. Decker's curiosity, normally one of his strongest drives, was utterly silenced by the stark panic that consumed him. He did not want to know what the darkness was; he did not need to know. He knew already. It was evil ---the sum total of all the evil that had been done upon the earth----every murder, every lie, every rape, every torture, every act of cannibalism, every beating of an innocent, every human sacrifice, every brutal mutilation of a child, every gulag, every pogrom, every death camp of every war, every slaughter of the blameless, every cruelty to a helpless animal, every destructive act upon the earth itself, All of it had been absorbed and held in by the earth until it could be held no longer, and now it gushed forth like nefarious vomit." No wonder YAHOWAH says "the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now, and not only they but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope........" Romans 8:22-24 The next few pages describe the unimaginable torment and terror which accompanies the blackness. Though no outside force attacks or threatens it is the very darkness itself that feeds the imagination to the point of paralysis. I saw a woman on TV once who had experienced a "near death" event where she had wound up in hell. She described the torturing demons, the unrelenting screams and the fear and darkness but she said nothing compared or could describe the absolute horror of the utter hopelessness. She said there was nothing that could torture the human soul more than an eternal and complete absence of hope. The darkness described in Exodus and here is one of complete absence of light and we know from YAHOWAH's Word that light is truth and that YAHO-Hoshu-WAH is the Way the Truth and the Light. He is our hope and salvation. Without Him we have no hope only darkness. BeauSeigneur continues: "When the darkness subsided after three days, its black murkiness seeping back into the earth just as it had arrived, Decker found himself lying on his bed unharmed. Dried feces lay smeared on the bed around him and caked on his hips and back. The room stank from the feces, urine, and sweat, but having been in the room with it for so long, he did not smell it. There was no thought of getting up to wash. Now that he no longer feared to move, he did not have the strength to do so. His jaws and teeth and head ached so badly from three days and nights of clenching and grinding that he was not certain he would survive the pain. Gently he moved his tongue along the inside of his cheeks trying to assess the damage. Loose flaps of flesh and deep ulcers revealed the pieces he had unknowingly bitten off in his torment. His tongue, too, was badly gnawed, and he could only assume the missing bits of flesh lay scattered around him on the bed or had been swallowed, washed down by the warm blood that still seeped from the wounds." Powerful stuff. If you are looking for a biblically accurate and historically verified version of the true story of the cloning of the Messiah please email me at b.jeanpearce@shaw.ca

Read the first two books of the series just to get to this book. This final part of the trilogy brings everything together. References to the bible and other books make it all the much better.

Magnificent!,
By Samurai6 (Westchester,New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acts of God: Book Three of the Christ Clone Trilogy (Hardcover)
The Christ Clone Trilogy is easily one of the best fiction stories I've ever read. The final book in the trilogy, Acts of God, ends the story with the force of a knock out punch. BeauSeigneur slowly increases the tension to the breaking point, culminating in the final battle between good and evil. And what a battle it is! Sides are chosen and only the people who chose wisely prevail. The last book hurtles the reader to the final confrontation at a breakneck speed...and the reader gladly goes along for the ride. A fantastic ending to a stunning series of books. Who is this guy James BeauSeigneur and why isn't he writing more books!!!

Really enjoyed it, he's an excellent writer and researcher.What I'm concerned about are the amazing simularities to the left behind books. Whose books were published first?

Awesome ending!,
By scott R. Williamson (Chandler, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acts of God: Book Three of the Christ Clone Trilogy (Hardcover)
After painstakingly getting through 11 Left Behind books, I picked up this series as it was recommended by other reviewers. All I can say Christ Clone Trilogy is everything that Left Behind is and more, plus it's handled in 3 novels.Told from a non-christian and unbiased perspective, this series really allows the reader to feel what these times may be like and how the world will be so easily deceived by the anti-christ. This is a must read for Christians and non-Christians who are interested in understnding Revelation and the last days.

This review is from: Acts of God (Paperback)
By condensing the trials of the Tribulation into just a couple of books, it has a lot more impact. This set of books is a nice illustration of the book of Revelation without becoming tedious.In this last book, we finally see Christopher as the bad guy, and it's amazing just how bad he is. I could not believe what happened to Decker, our protagonist from the beginning. Wow! It's nice to see everyone reunited at the end after Jesus come to the rescue. Again, if you've read the book of Revelation these books shouldn't exactly surprise you, but it's always interesting to see the different spin different authors put on it. |
