Right away I was concerned. When I read the title and saw book one, I wondered if this would be a book with no ending. I really don’t like books with no ending, but I was wrong.

I really enjoyed this book. Lately there have been many books written about the mystical and magic. This was not one of those books with fantastical beasts and outrageous magical powers. This was a book that was more believable, causing you to think.

There’s a new preacher in town, Joseph. Many people believe he is the second coming of Jesus; he is the new Jesus or the anti-Christ.  Joseph is causing many of the churches in the US and around the world to lose members. People are leaving their homes and jobs and moving to his self-contained communities all over the United States.

Father Sean McCauley has to find out if Joseph is the second coming of Jesus or the anti-Christ who is leading the flock astray. We are taken on a wonderful ride as Sean delves into the past of Joseph and the Catholic Church. Will Father Sean McCauley end up making a pact with the devil to save the souls of millions? Is Sean mistaken and Joseph really is the second coming of Jesus?                   

As Father McCauley is trying to figure out if Joseph is Jesus, he is also battling a decision of whether or not to remain a priest. He is unsure of this future as a priest because he would like to marry and have a family. Will he leave the priesthood or will he remain?

This is really a good book and I am looking forward to future installments of Kingdom Come. I really like this book because there is no way to guess what is going to happen. When you think that you know for sure what will happen, there’s a twist. Great job by the author.  I am looking forward to reading more of his work.
