Read Ebook The Second Coming, by Grant Leishman
God looks down on Earth and is disgusted with what he sees his creation has become. He decides that humanity is a failed experiment, and he orders Earth and all of humanity destroyed. He will start again from scratch. Jesus, however, intervenes and requests one more opportunity to turn mankind around. He is given one year to see if he can make a significant difference. The Second Coming begins with Jesus (Jc to his friends) in an induced coma in a Manila hospital after having been hit by a bus, losing his memory in the process. The book follows the exploits of Jesus and his disciples as they seek to firstly recover his memory and then embarking on a mission of saving humanity from the brink. There is interwoven into the story a romance between Jesus (Jose Christian Castillo or Jc for short) and his number one Disciple Maria Lyn Manyanan (Ma for short).

Beneath all the hilarity is a heartwarming tale and a sweet romance. Humans are worth saving!The Second Coming could benefit from some minor editing, but it's not so distracting I didn't finish the story.Over all, it is a good story.

The Second Coming By Maria A well-produced thought provoking book.I loved the concept behind this book and was intrigued by the idea of God sending his son down for one last chance to save humanity. One thing that surprised and impressed me is the author walked the thin line between the book becoming either pro or anti religious despite the obvious theme. This really is a "what if?" book.So young Jose Castillo from the Philippines has a year to gather a group of loyal followers to help him bring peace and harmony to the world and eliminate wars, greed, cruelty etc. Not a simple job hampered by him being knocked over by a bus in Manila and temporarily loosing his memory and the stakes are high. If the world doesn't change its ways God is going to destroy his flawed project.There is gentle humour in the book but it is not used maliciously, only to emphasis how ridiculous institutes and individuals can be. I'm not going to ruin the story but will say there is romance, an interesting twist at the end and the few parallels to the bible aren't the obvious ones. There are hints that one of the disciples will betray J.C. but that as well has a nice twist.For me, books don't have to have a point as long as they are entertaining but I did like the idea behind this book. Despite all our flaws and our capacity for conflict, greed, cruelty and violence we also have the capacity for love, compassion and forgiveness and overall that makes us worthwhile.A couple of niggles. The first I ask readers to bear with as this well produced book is worth a read but it does take quite a while "to get going." The second is I personally like a very tight punchy style of writing and I thought at times the writing could have been sharper.Overall an interesting "what if" read.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The Best "Second Coming" Book By Jennie This novel is an entertaining and lighthearted read with a serious message. The characters are endearing and well developed and the scenes painted with the clarity of an artistic word brush. Many of the events defy all reason and that is the point of the faith, hope and love that is the serious message. The attempt to reconcile all religions to save humanity from itself is a worthy endeavor. What if people took the simple message to heart? Evil, however, is relegated to a band of violent freedom fighters and the original sin of “human nature”, while the Catholic Church has benevolent bishops who embrace the second Jesus wholeheartedly. A somewhat overly optimistic approach in my opinion. Both this book and the Bible's book of Revelations, however, end with a marriage. The vision of heaven corresponds to the latest scientific theory of multiple universes, in which heaven is right here, right now, right next to us. We just can’t see it. This is a more realistic and refreshing view that the usual depiction of heaven and well done. The dashes instead of commas were a minor distraction. I highly recommend this book as a thought-provoking book and a fun read.
