For far too long, fictional explorations of Christianity have been held hostage by poorly written novels that seemed more interested in progaganda than in truth. It's a history that has done too much damage on both sides of the fence............................................... On the other side, novels that take such simplistic viewpoints about the faith utterly fail to engage practicing Christians or challenge them to explore their beliefs with any real depth. Left Behind turns off non-Christians and allows Christians to develop a sense of self-satisfaction. Both results are harmful. Caldwell's novel avoids both traps. I have no idea if Caldwell is a Christian or not. What I do know after reading his novel is that he takes the Christian faith seriously, seriously enough to honestly look at why so many people reject it, to honestly look at what it is in humanity that keeps us seperate from God. This novel can be read as a character study, an exploration of spirituality, or simply a good adventure. It succeeds on all levels. It's my dearest hope that We All Fall Down becomes a widely read novel because Christianity needs to be talked about in a mature, intellegent fashion, both so that non-Christians can feel like there is a door that is open to them, through which they feel comfortable in exploring these issues and so that practicing Christians have help in engaging themselves in a deeper exploration of their faith. Caldwell's novel brilliantly achives both of these tasks. It is a novel that is a pleasure to read and one that lingers in the thoughts for months after it's completion. Buy this book. Recomend it to your friends, both Christian and non. It's an important work

A student of mine gave this book and after reading it, I was curious to see what other people's take on it was. It was interesting to read some of the Amazon reviews, particularly the reviews concerning the author's writing abilities. I'm not going to comment too much on the actual content of the novel, because I believe that that is an area that really depends upon personal tastes. All I will say is that Mr. Caldwell is uncompromising in following through with the theme of his novel, and from there, it really becomes a question of whether or not people are interested in exploring the darker side of mankind, a humanity without belief in the presence of a Higher Spirit. What I would like to briefly touch on is the literary aspects of Mr. Caldwell's novel, because I think that some people might be missing some of the more complex literary feats that he has accomplished in this stunning work. Mr. Caldwell is one of the few authors I've seen who has managed to move past the Post-modern novel without simply regressing to a previous style. In effect, he has writen a Trans-modern novel. That is, rather than simply embracing the conventional rules of literature, or conversley, creating a work which is mainly concerned with refuting them, Mr. Caldwell has integrated both modern and post-modern to create a unified whole. The dialouge is straight out of an Elmore Leonard crime novel- tough, funny, and terse, the descriptive prose is lyrical in the tradition of the romantics, the characters are defined by their actions, which are never explained in a traditional, linear way, following the existentialist school of writing, such as Camus. States of pain and ecstacy are reminicent of the writings of Aldous Huxley, Buroughs, and Henry Miller, in their lyrical, almost drugged up quality.Read more ›

I'm no stranger to Endtimes fiction. I've always been fascinated by the prophecies of the Book of Revelation. As a Christian, I've wanted to read a work that faithfully holds true to the Biblical prophecies and presents the message of Christianity, but as a lover of literature, I wanted a quality piece of writing as well. Unfortunately, until recently, the closest that I had found was the Left Behind series which reeks of inept writing, simplistic plots and themes, two-dimensional characters, and bad evangelicalism. Then, recently, I discovered the Christ Clone Trilogy, a work that perfectly fit what I was looking for in Endtimes fiction. It featured excellent story-telling, three-dimensional characters, and an impeccable knowledge of prophecy, history, science, technology, New Age, and all other subjects covered in the story. Hence, it provided not only quality, but also accuracy and believability. Not only that, but it also managed to practice the often difficult art of good evangelicalism, i.e. presenting the message of Christianity to a secular audience in a non-offensive manner that might actually peak their curiosity in the Bible and Christianity. But now I've seen something even better. Brian Caldwell has done something completely different. Instead of dramatizing the Endtimes events prophesized in Revelation, he has used them merely as a backdrop to tell a riveting and very human story of one man's confrontation with himself, God, and human nature. _We All Fall Down_ isn't simply a good read - it's an artistic work of true literary merit. When reading this novel, I found myself thinking of the likes of Kafka, Camu, Dostoyevski, Ellison, Conrad, and Steinbeck.Read more ›
