Waking God [Paperback]

Brian Doe (Author), Philip Harris (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 14, 2006

"And he agreed, and from Him was taken the Vessel, the Chalice, which was to contain all that was created. With this taking came the knowledge in the form of Wisdom, and from Wisdom they went forth and multiplied. When It saw what had happened, It said, "This is good." And It placed a fiery pillar before this place of rest that none should disturb the slumber. If he awoke, all of creation would thus end and Wisdom would be lost. Being the seventh day, It rested." He closed the journal, not bothering to read the words he'd written. He knew the idea by now, was familiar with the message, though he comprehended none of it beyond an academic capacity. He only needed to find some way to understand why it was happening, and what in God's name it had to do with him.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful mixture of times and fantasy, June 29, 2006

This review is from: Waking God (Paperback)

I read this book with a bit of apprehension, as it sounded to me like a mockery of Christianity. However, what a wonderful surprise lay ahead of me!
WAKING GOD is a book that takes a contemporary setting, throws in a bit of fantasy in a trip around the world in the future, then flashes all the way back to the Garden of Eden, and does it with such smoothness and grace that you hardly know where you are living when you finally reach the end and set it aside.
Authors Doe and Harris, I understand, have a trilogy planned for this book, and I can't wait for the next one.
I am one of the few people on the planet who has not read The Da Vinci Code, but from what I've heard about it (and that is a lot), I'd grab another Doe/Harris book over it any day.
Well done, and highly recommended!

This review is from: Waking God (Paperback)

Waking God is a book you want to set a good chunk of uninterupted quality time aside for, and make sure you start early in the day, because once you start reading you will probably not eat or sleep until you are finished. It's that good.

The book effortlessly and fluidly transports you to another world. A world filled with wonder, mystery, suspense and danger. Brian Doe and Phil Harris spin a tale of the Gods that may shake up some of your beliefs about things divine, because this other world being written about is the very spiritual foundation of the world we live in.

I for one will be recommending this literary work many times over, and I am certainly looking forward to future offerings from this brilliant emerging team of writers.

Sorry: if you must have this sort of thing (secret societies struggling to control the hope of the future; the devil as misunderstood gadfly; the established churches in the grip of fallen angels; codes hidden in the Tarot pack; the possible birth of messiah) then Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is better written, more profound - and immensely funnier.
