5.0 out of 5 stars The End = The Beginning!, January 10, 2003

The Prodigal Project, Book 1, Genesis (289pp), lets you know up front that more books will follow...it is a series. The end is yet the beginning for the men and women left behind after the Rapture. All of the children (even the unborn) were taken up. This book is NOT a carbon copy of the "Left Behind" series. But if you enjoyed "Left Behind", you will love this book. The people that remain on earth are very real characters. You will feel that you know them or someone just like them. They all have normal everyday flaws like Shannon who needed a little more time to get into the bible and church; Thomas was a divorced man who now had the desire to experience other women; Rev. Smith who lusted for a bigger church and seemed a bit too on edge for a man who has Jesus in his heart; Ivy a wife that fantasized about infidelity and harbored anger at God in her heart for birthing a handicapped child; Cat whose destiny seems to be entwined with the devil/dark forces and; Slim a photographer who witnessed an evil murder and was allowed to live afterwards. These individuals will independently have to determine their purpose for being left behind and determine if their souls will pass the test for a second chance.

After the Rapture the world is in chaos. It does not read like Science Fiction, but resembles the current state of our world after Sept. 11th, just on a heighteed scale.

The story is propelled with the inclusion of Azul Dante and Izbek Noir. The readers will be intriqued as the story unfolds with good versus evil. The only hope is The Prodigal Project, but what does it mean? Get this must read book to find out.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like LEFT BEHIND, you'll love PRODIGAL PROJECT, January 2, 2003

This review is from: The Prodigal Project: Book 1: Genesis (Mass Market Paperback)

When I saw that Ken Abraham was the co-author of The Prodigal Project, I picked it up right away.
This book does not disappoint - a great thriller, filled with action, but with great lessons about redemption and Christ's love, and about how recognizing Christ can change anyone's life.
I really liked this book, and can't wait for the next one to come out.

This review is from: The Prodigal Project: Book 1: Genesis (Mass Market Paperback)

Using the same formula and capturing much of the same type audience from the Left Behind series this book has a tad better writing style. The theme is the same as the Left Behind books but in this initial installment the characters who are introduced are multi-dimensional and more "real." As in the Left Behind, the book begins with the massive dissapearence of the multitudes of believers leaving people who thought they had faith wondering why they are still here. Well, of course it is to fight the forces of evil! It is the time of the Rapture. The faithful heroes are cast about and converging to congregate and form the Prodigal Project in this opening book of surely more to come. His evilness is Izbek Noir who has managed to organize the diverse Arab politicians and nations against the encroaching "Western repression." The mujahhideen and Izbek Noir has far reaching appeal as his rhetoric has influenced mobs throughout the world, including Africa and Latin America to threaten the stability of their governments. The growing tension and hordes of followers has the world on the brink. His evilness orchestrates the ultimate attack on his own by attacking Mecca and blaming the West and thus galvanizing solidarity throughout the Muslim world. Izbek Noir is the equivalent of the charismatic Nicloae Carpathia from the Left Behind books. On the other side of the spectrum there are other parallels of characters including the Reverand Henderson Smith who is much like Tsion Ben- Judah and serves as the spiritual leader. The world is in utter chaos and the lines have been drawn. Which sign will you identify with? Will you identify with the imbeded bar code chip that will get you your goods or will you be one of the resistant chosen few? It is a fast moving story that is easy to follow and full of intrigue and messages. Towards the end of the book it was getting a little preachy but otherwise it is nice piece of fiction regardng the end times. Recommended for believers and non-believers alike.
