Acts Of God

"And the false prophet too!"

The final installment of James BeauSeigneur's trilogy is rich with tension and suspense. Rays of light are only temporal and the UN's relocation to Iraq brings similar hope.

I readily started this book, but was concerned with the direction of the story per the previous volume. If Acts of God didn't address those issues but only went further down that path I would have been reading some very well written, but heretical dissertations. Being a former proponent of heresy -a shout-out to the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society is given on pages 282-283- I could see how people unknowingly would take bits of truth with a lie, add water, stir, and take it all in. Fortunately, BeauSeigneur does not jeopardize God's Word with his fictional take on the Apocalypse.

The finale is outstanding especially with its conclusion, better than expected.

Birth of an Age

"Birth of an Age", the follow-up to "In His Image" by James BeauSeigneur, aggresively portrays the cataclysm upon the Earth. The mayhem includes cosmic debris under a macabre gravitational pull, radioactive showers, plagues, and madness.

BeauSeigneur provides better detail to his cast. One character from long ago is re-introduced and it looks like he is just visiting, only for the storyline to thrust fashionably forward.

There is an element which is unsettling. It was hinted at in the first volume, but if my estimation is correct, it will all be resolved in the final installment.

For now, all I can say is that it goes into a scientology-like territory. Even so, I eagerly await to see what the conclusion brings!

In His Image

I just finished reading James BeauSeigneur's "In His Image". This was written way back in 1988 and I truly recommend it solely for it's mindblowing take on the Shroud of Turin.

Wasn't it radiocarbon dated to be from 1260-1390 AD?

Did Jesus' prophecy of the destruction of the Temple include what is known as the Wailing Wall?

There is a lot of political intrigue primarily with the United Nations' catastrophic dealings (Watchtower declares the UN is the scarlet-coloured beast from Revelation). A drawback though, the characters could have been better fleshed out, excuse the pun.

This is book one of three and I'm looking forward to the continuation!
