The last book in an epic trilogy, with a heavenly-high bar already
established by books one and two, The Second Coming of Humanity does
not disappoint--in fact, it yanks the bar off its stanchions and hurls
it into the stratosphere. Eternal arch-enemies, Mantrella (aka
`Lucifer,' `The Morning Star,' and `Christ,'--yes, you read that last
one correctly) and Michael come angelically and mightily head-to-head
and wing-to-wing in the battle for the future of earth and the fate of
the human beings that inhabit it. In this gripping and
status-quo-challenging trilogy, Lucifer is not your enemy, and angels
are not your friends.
"Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?"
That quote of Jesus, taken from the New Testament, is repeated
thematically throughout The Second Coming. Because, and this is where
`traditional' `Christians' and the organized church will shout,
"Heresy!" and, "Burn the authors at the stake!"--Adam, who was `put
into a deep sleep,' is about to awaken. The `dream,' all that we
know--the Buddhists call it "Samsara"--the illusion of our reality,
created by us all with our thoughts as part of Adam's dream, is about
to come to an end. If Adam awakes, humanity is reunited with the
godhead and, returns to its birthright--as gods, higher than the
angels.
Michael doesn't like that idea. One bit. He uses all his power,
magic, and influence to stop it. Mantrella is using all his power,
magic and influence, to thwart Michael and facilitate the rise to
godhood that is humanity's birthright. He knows the complete
DNA--including the `god' seed--can be `reborn' in a divine child if he
can successfully have main characters, Andrew and Mara, mate ... they
both carrying each other's latent half of the necessary seed that
activates upon conception. If that happens, "The Fall" of mankind is
reversed, man is returned to the Garden, and Adam awakens as the whole
god-being you and I and He, were originally created to be by the I Am
That I Am.
A supernatural, spiritual/inspirational suspense thriller, The
Second Coming of Humanity is loaded with twists and turns, highly
developed and multi-faceted, fantastic characters from all levels being
and non-being, and has an ending that ... no, I can't spoil it for you.
You must find out, understand, and manifest the ending, for yourself.
Authors Phil Harris and Brian Doe spin this tale with crisp,
compelling, no frills and gutsy prose, along with poetic and deep
passages that transport you to other-worldly realms--then smacks you
right back dab in the middle of `reality'--or is it? In the end, it is
up to you, to us, to awaken and create our own reality. The book gets
to you. It pervades and inundates you. And it makes you, as you
compulsively turn each of the final pages, wonder ... just who you--and
we--really are, for god's sake?
- Review by Marvin D Wilson, author of the novels, "Beware the
Devil's Hug", "Owen Fiddler", and "I Romanced the Stone (Memoirs of a
Recovering Hippie)"
