Charles Sheffield, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning
science fiction author
". . . an engrossing and ingenious story around the biggest
possible subject . . . James BeauSeigneur brings to bear a fine mix
of scientific, political, and religious knowledge to illuminate this
powerful tale."
The New York Times
James BeauSeigneur has written a lively three-part novel dramatizing
the end times events described in Revelation... BeauSeigneur's Christ
Clone Trilogy livens things up with a sci-fi premise: cells scraped
from the Shroud of Turin are used to clone a new version of Christ.
Wayne Watson, Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter
"Your work will be held in high regard by all who appreciate
quality writing. There was something refreshing about the honesty and
candor of the language you used and the strength of the despicable
characters (though it took me a while to figure out WHO the bad guys
were!!). So many Christian books sugarcoat stories into a bland
fluff. Thank you for not doing that! Anyway, I could go on and on. It
was a pleasure to spend some good hours reading these wonderful
books. Thanks so much for sharing them with us."
Ted Dekker, author of Thunder of Heaven
This extraordinary trilogy is nothing short of incredible. These end
times books will knock your sox off!
Kerry Livgren, primary writer of 8 gold & platinum
albums for the band "Kansas"
"Breathtaking...as fine a piece of work as I have read, on
several different levels."
PropheZine, John Terry, Editor
"By far the most exciting, true-to-life portrayal of end-times
events I've ever read. It is on my "MUST READ" list for any
serious student of prophecy."
Tickled by Thunder, Larry Lindner, Editor
". . . grabbed me by the throat and never let go . . . C.S.
Lewis couldn't have done it better!
E. Brandt Gustavson, L.L.D President, National
Religious Broadcasters
I'm so impressed with this intriguing and captivating series. I'm
also encouraged to note the careful research Jim has done. The
validity of the message is enhanced greatly by it.
Jeremy Nordmoe, Vanderbilt University Library
Finally, out of the ghetto of the evangelical subculture, comes a
refreshing, well thought out, and methodically researched look at the
end of the age. And not since, C.S. Lewis have we seen such
creativity and imagination in its presentation. Bravo! More!
Ian Wilson, noted historian and best selling author of
The Blood and the Shroud
". . .a brilliant and fascinating narrative that certainly kept
me on the edge of my seat "
W.G. Griffiths, author of Driven
An excellent blend of scientific fact with realistic fiction . . .
splendid storytelling . . . a cover to cover ride at breakneck speed.
NAPRA ReVIEW
Pulling together apocalyptic prophecies, science, military detail,
current events and Jewish and Christian Scripture and traditions,
BeauSeigneur weaves together an almost believable, ingeniously
constructed tale.
Lambert Dolphin, Physicist
Bible Prophecy books appear in droves every year. Most are dull and
dry and do not begin to capture the actual dynamics of the huge
upheavals that are surely soon to fall upon our planet. This trilogy
stretches the imagination to the max, and captivates the mind, all
the while staying within reasonable Biblical boundaries. This is not
merely entertaining reading it is spiritually stimulating and renews
my own desire to better understand the end of the age.
Barbara Meister Vitale, author of Unicorns are Real: A
Right Brained Approach to Learning
WOW! . . . I couldn't put the book down. Although I know this is
'fiction,' the book really reinforces some of my own beliefs. . . . I
have called at least 20 people and told them to order both books.
Victoria Harmison, Verbal Images Press
An engrossing blend of politics, religion, New Age, end-of-the-world
prophecy, and science, James BeauSeigneur's In His Image keeps
readers turning pages. His masterful plotting weaves an international
cast of characters through world-changing events (including the
cloning of Jesus and two nuclear holocausts) that are made entirely
believable because of BeauSeigneur's meticulous research and
eyewitness-quality detail.
Other Reader Comments
WARNING! WARNING! The Christ Clone Trilogy is so well written that
books 1 & 2 should contain a directive, or warning NOT to stop
there! It is so hard, and somewhat dangerous, to effectively present
the deception of the last days, although it is very necessary for one
to get an appreciation and sense of urgency to get the Truth (the
Word) out. Mr. BeauSeigneur achieves this with startling clarity,
bringing sympatico to "Christopher." Without book 3,
though, one could almost see New Agers using books 1 & 2 to
"make thier case" against Believers. For example, Barbara
Meister Vitale, author of Unicorns are Real: a right brained approach
to learning commented: "although this is 'fiction,' the book
really reinforces some of my own beliefs...I have called at least 20
people & told them to order both (sic) books." Without
"Acts of God," book 3, one might reinforce the wrong
conclusions. Don't get me wrong; The Christ Clone Trilogy is a
masterfull work, well written, magnificently researched...but one
could almost hope it will soon be bound together, so ha'satan would
be less apt to have the reader stop at book 2!
-- D. A. Thompson, CE Director San Angelo, TX
Book 2 shook me up so much, I almost didn't go on to Book 3... That
would have been a MAJOR mistake. But the author did such a great job
... The descriptions af the asteroids blew me away. I've rarely been
so engrossed in a book as through that section. But to follow that up
with Christopher's explanation of how Lucifer was the good guy &
Yahweh the evil tyrant... he did much too good a job on that section!
As I said, I almost didn't come back for the big finish. I'm sure
glad I did. The conclusion moved me to tears. I've read all the Left
Behind books, and really enjoyed them. My criteria for a Good Book
is: good story, told well, with characters you come to care about.
Left Behind is a good story, told ok, with not-too-complex
characters. The Christ Clone Trilogy is an excellent story, told
extremely well, with characters I know. I give it my highest possible
recommendation. Thank you for writing this series, it has touched my heart.
-- John Darsey
I had never heard of the Crist Clone Trilogy until I was reading
reader reviews of another series of books I considered buying. The
reviews said that this series was much better. I was shocked at how
easy a read it was. The character developement and depiction of
scenes made me believe I was actually there. Many novels I've read
with a large number of characters often cause me to forget some of
the main players. But all of the characters in this series were so
memorable it was impossible not to remember all of them. By the time
I finished the final book I could easily recall all of the details
from the first one. The ample footnotes were also much appreciated
since I was able to further my knowledge of prophesy. The only
negative thing I can say about this trilogy is that it had to end. I
will have a hard time, I'm sure, to find another book that will keep
my interest as much as this series. I have a fundamentalist preacher
friend that I plan to reccomend this series to. I'm sure he will find
it as compelling as I did.
-- Scott Upchurch
As a long-haul trucker, and a fundamentalist Christian, I had to stop
at Amarillo, Texas this week, and delay my trip for 2 hours while I
finished book 3 of "The Christ Clone Trilogy". The climax
of the sinful saga of man's history was written so graphically that I
couldn't get my mind back on my driving until I read the happy ending
of Decker Hawthorne reunited with his family in heaven. Made me weep
tears of joy. I hope the real ending of the world happens much like
this book! Trust Jesus!
-- Byron Smith
After trying to get through the first Left Behind series book, I
found the Christ Clone Trilogy to be a refreshing change with much
more compelling imagery and realism. I've donated the series to my
church library because writing like this must be shared and discussed.
-- John Frey
Just finished the last book and boy was I impressed. I have enloyed
eschatology all my life and have not found a more readable,
authoritative and probable account than The Christ Clone Trilogy!
Thank you as you thank Shiloh!
-- Charlie Subock
The only other end times series I read was the Left Behind series(all
of them). I just finished In His Image. I can't say I loved it. Alot
of science in it however, I probably will get #2 and read it. It was different.
-- Phyllis Rausch
I have read many books about the New Age (from a Christian
perspective) and I read every end times novel I can get my hands on.
I relish the different ideas of what it will be like before Jesus
returns and have enjoyed most of the books I have read. I just
finished the first book of this trilogy and found it to be quite
different from any I have read. I would not try to compare it to the
Left Behind series (which I truly love) or any other novel because
they are all so different in the biblical interpretation and
speculation of the authors. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait
to start the next one. I can't wait to start the next one to see what
happens next. The main characters are easy to care about even though
the cloning from the Shroud seems a bit far out. I pass my books
around when I finish them. I will be curious to see how my friends
react to these books. They will sure make for some good discussions.
-- Jan Machulis
For the first time in my life, I have thoroughly enjoyed The Christ
Clone Trilogy. I don't read novels at all... as a matter of fact,
outside of college, I haven't read but one novel. I simply didn't
have the time nor was I inclined to 'see' anything in fiction anyway.
A friend of mine recommended these books. I ordered them. I read the
first 100 pages and thought, "hmmm... this has some merit."
When I started the 2nd book 2 weeks later... it was non-stop reading!
I hung on every twist and turn. This is the first work of fiction
that incorporated Truth, politics and fiction all rolled into one.
For a few weeks thereafter, I could not keep my mind off the story
line! Almost everything I did, I would view it with a keen eye on the
future! A different perspective to be sure but certainly worthy of
discourse. I HIGHLY recommend the books.
-- Ben Villa
As a student of Biblical prophecy, I've enjoyed some of the fictional
works based on the end-times prophecies. Of all the books in this
genre that I've read over the last number of years, the Christ Clone
Trilogy was the most intriguing, hardest hitting, intense, and
enthralling series I've had the privilege of owning. True to
Scripture but not "preachy", James BeauSeigneur weaves a
tale that steps outside the normal bounds of Christian fiction.
Instead of preaching to the saved, He tells the tale from the
viewpoint of the lost, with all the deception, false hopes, lapses in
judgment, and self-centered rebellion that characterizes mankind
without God's saving grace. Every Christian should read this series.
Every Christian should give a copy to an unsaved friend.
-- Paul Gerardi
Can't put the book down! Just as the story begins to mellow you are
shocked time and time again! James BeauSeigneur is a genius!
-- M. Roth
A great trilogy. I picked them up on a whim at the public library
Friday evening, and I just finished Book 3 Sunday evening--I read
nonstop! The twists and turns kept me hanging on every word. Great
creativity and impeccable research--I recommend it to everyone.
--T. Gott, teacher
Amazing!I have read all three books at least three times.James
Beauseigneur is a genius.
-- Andre Watson.
I read it while I cooked, clean, and took care of the kids; I could
not put it down.
-- Trish P.
If you mix together Tom Clancy, Stephen King, Frank Peretti, C.S.
Lewis, and the book of Revelation, you get some idea of the
excitement of The Christ Clone Trilogy.
-- Bob Seevers, Ph.D.
As a scientist, I found The Christ Clone Trilogy to be as well
researched as any dissertation or scientific paper I've ever read.
-- Nina Thornton, Ph.D.
In my history as an English student and now a graduate, never before
have I been so engrossed by a novel.
-- Jason Baker
True to scripture, captivating, very well written! It may be fiction,
but it reads like news! First century concepts explained by 21st
century knowledge and technology.
-- Bob Patton
I have read a lot of speculative end time novels. As I was reading
the Trilogy, I kept wondering how the author was able to pull all of
the data together to make the story line he did. I could not imagine
such effort. What a labor of love it had to be.
-- David Gee, President, Gee Communications, Richmond, VA.
The best end times novel I've ever read!! The different angles of
prophecy are great, the rapture, the apostle John being one of the
two witnesses, and those locusts blew me away! No novel or any other
book has ever made me sit on the edge of my seat like this one! James
Beauseigneur is a masterful story teller!!
-- Jack Russo
A masterful job! Something for everyone. And the author has really
set us up for a shocker in Book 3!
-- Chuck Anderson
MUCH better than the Left Behind series, should have gotten more
attention because it is more believable, better written and more
creative. Burn your Left Behind books and read Christ Clone. Jesus
will approve.
-- Michaelangelo
I read the whole trilogy and it's gotta be the best end times story
I've ever read! All my friends at school (mind you i'm 16) keep
asking about it and hang onto every word as I describe the book. I
love it!!!
-- Nick Augustine
Excellent! It puts a whole new spin on how even the very elect could
be deceived when the antichrist gains world dominance. BeauSeigneur
you got my attention! You even had me feeling emphathy for the
antichrist figure! A must read for all Christians.
-- Jamie Gafford
I finished "In His Image" minutes ago and am eagerly
anticipating the arrival of the UPS man with "Birth of an
Age." Very well written with engaging characters and a gripping
plot - and much, *much* better than the other end-times series that
is so prevalent. If the other two books are as captivating and
realistic as "In His Image," I'm going to have to order
several sets as Christmas gifts. ..... DON'T MISS THESE BOOKS!
-- Donna B.
I received these books on Saturday, and I finished the whole Trilogy
by the following Friday, this is the best end-times novels that I
have ever read, do't get me wrong, I love the Left Behind series, I
have all of them, but this series is so much more realistic, Every
Christian should read this series!!!!
- Henry D. Woods
C.S. Lewis would love to have read these three books!
-- Jay Arnett
I'm 45. In my entire life, I've only read four books from cover to
cover and they were all less than 150 pages. I'm a skimmer, not a
reader. I couldn't even bring myself to read the "left
behind" series. But a friend of mine strongly urged me to at
least look through The Christ Clone Trilogy..Once I started, I found
myself finishing the third book less than three weeks later. James
has changed many of my perspectives concerning the return of Christ.
Thank you.
-- Jerry Conner
I felt the need to pray to God as I read book two to alieve my fear
that this book would make me doubt my own beliefs about who God is
and who the true Saviour will be.
I had nightmares after reading the detailed description of the
asteriod impacts. I couldn't finish my lunch after reading the
description of the punishment for those who had not taken the mark.
I felt like the darkness was upon me. BUT I COULD NOT PUT THEM DOWN.
Thank you, Mr. BeauSeigneur, for giving us this glipse of our
possible future. So, when does the movie come out?
-- Paul Stradley
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the books. I think that there were a
couple of "slight" mistake in "Acts of God". On
page 137, I think that Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonians.
The Babylonian Empire was then destroyed/taken over by the Persians.
I think that Artaxerxes is a Perian emperor and not Babylonian.
-- Jackson Louie
[Thanks Jackson. You're right. I fixed this (among other things)
in the second edition. Jim BeauSeigneur]
This is very very close to the reality, wich one are you all choose,
the clone or real Son of God on. A very very good book.
-- Oiregor
I ordered the trilogy 2 weeks ago today, and they arrived last
Thursday. I'll have to admit that I was sucked in and almost stopped
reading after completing book 2, but that would have been a mistake.
It took me just over a week to read all three books. I'd have to say
now that it ranks up there with the Left Behind series which I
discovered first (found out about The Christ Clone Trilogy on their
message boards). There are similarities and differences between these
two distinct series, but I'd recommens both to anyone wishing to
learn more about end time events.
-- Larry
Wow! I couldn't put it down! I read everything (almost) I can about
the end times. This is by far the best Iv'e read! I'm wondering what
took me so long to discover it? I will be passing this one one to family.
-- L hoffman
I got these books as a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law. I wasn't
sure I would even like them. I took them with me to the beach last
summer, and finished all three books by the end of that week. I just
read them again. They really do give you an idea of how the hearts of
men could be so hostile toward God, just before the return of Christ.
They are well researched and very believable. I have recommended them
to everyone I know.
-- Tammie Olson
WOW! These books make you think.I just finished book 2 and have
requested book 3 from my library.My library does not seem to carry
any Christian fiction.I am just glad I am able to read them.Much
better and more realistic than the Left Behind series which I bought
all of them.I was getting annoyed with all the new age garbage in
book 2 but now I understand where the book is going and can't wait
for book 3.
-- Diane Zavocki
This is the BEST series of books I have ever read - BAR NONE! I
started reading them without even knowing they were an end times
trilogy until I got a ways into the first book. That in and of itself
says a lot if you are aware of the level of "quality" in
most Christian Fiction. The writing style and exhaustive footnotes
blurs the line between reality and fiction.
You are not a spectator. You "live" these books as
you read them, never being quite sure what did/will happen versus
what *might* happen. It is all too believable. Only the works of a
true artist can do that. My compliments to the author.
Like a lot of folks, book two really took me to the verge of
doubt. The arguments were so compelling that I was starting to get
into a real depression. But hang in there. Book three takes you out
of the valley and ends as a true mountain top experience!
-- Daniel Eaton
I have read all of the Left Behind series and have loved them. When I
heard about The Christ Clone Trilogy, I couldn't wait to read them.
The first two books were distrubing but very good. When you finally
start reading the third book, it starts falling into place. The
ending is very uplifting and one can only hope that the end times
will be like that! I highly recommend reading these books for
Christians and non-Christians alike.
-- Jane
Right now I'm just getting into the 3rd book, "Acts of God."
I've read the first 5 Left Behind books and thought they were quite
compelling. But I'll be honest and agree that these books held my
attention better. Although it's sometimes difficult to jump ahead 6
months every other chapter, it's makes sense in the way that the
events are described. One thing that shook me up was in the 2nd book,
"In His Image" when Christopher explains to Decker about
how Yahweh is bad, I was totally freaking out, I guess I hadn't even
considered the impact of the deceivers of the world and how they'd
use their theories to convince people. It was almost scary to keep
reading. But so far I do like these books, and the fact that they're
basically told from the Antichrist's POV. An interesting read.
-- Jerrod
Book one does an excellent job of laying the foundation for a truly
remarkable trilogy. I found the explanation of The Shroud of Turin
especially intriguing. Book two really had me thinking about what I'd
always believed to be true,almost a crisis of faith. Book
three,however,put everything back in order for me. I couldn't find
the trilogy in any local bookstore so I had to order online. Well
worth the wait for delivery, but I do wish I had gotten the overnight
delivery instead of standard. Order these books today!!!
-- Jason Stone
These are wonderful books. I had been recommended to read them from a
friend in America. I couldn't buy them here in England apart from the
website, however once I had all three, I began reading in earnest. I
didn't stop until I had read straight through.They are a wonderful
evangelical tool.I have told lots of family and friends about the
books. Thank you so much
-- Jane Fowler
These books are awesome! Thank you for writing such a
thought-provoking, well-written series. The emotions I went through,
especially from the 2nd book on, left me exhausted, but exhilirated.
Surely, God was working through the author.
-- Amy B.
I just finished reading book 1 of the trilogy. Books 2 & 3 are on
my shelf, I'll be starting book 2 as soon as I finish typing this!
I'm a big fan of the "Left Behind" series, and have also
enjoyed Megiddo, though it was not as good as either of these! The
only problem I have with the book so far is ** SPOILER ALERT ** when
towards the end of the 1st book, the apostle John is said to have
coerced Judas into betraying Jesus to the Sanhedrin. It makes me VERY
uncomfortable when biblical truths are altered like this!
-- Bill Stewart
I first read these books back in May and loved them. I just now read
them again. What GREAT books!!! Much better than Left Behind series.
I love how the characters are developed and the detail that went into
all three books. Please keep writing Mr. BeauSeigneur.
Thanks for your wonderful works.
-- Sandy M.
I totally agree with all three above, and let me add this: BE PRAYED
UP AND KNOW YOUR BIBLE BEFORE YOU READ!!!! "Christ Clone"
Author James BeauSeigneur does such a masterful job of making the
Antichrist look real and personal, that it is easy for someone to
totally see what the Evil One is saying, and you also may actually
catch yourself cheering for the antichrist!!! Mr. BeauSeigneur does
such a great job of making the character of the Antichrist look like
a normal person and a "good guy" that it is easy to be
swept away by him, until the very end (and until it is almost too
late!!!!). This series is entirely credible and easy to read, and so
believable that it is easy to see how the Son of Perdition could come
to power!
I highly recommend this book series, and am even reading the
series again (and it is just as fascinating, if not more-so, this
time around!!!), and it is once again difficult to put down!!!
-- Jason Lovelace
Amazing! I read the trilogy twice---I've never read any book TWICE.
As a Christian, I KNOW that prophesy is going to be fulfilled. But
trying to understand "how" prophesy could possibly unfold
in the times we live in today (the end times) always left me wanting.
The "Christ Clone Trilogy" clearly illustrates that the
fulfillment of prophesy can start any time now. What an incredible
piece of work! Brilliant!
-- Jeffrey Forbes
Superbly structured, marvelous manipulation of time constraints,
artisitic delivery of each and every paragraph! I stand in complete
awe, at the wonder of this series! It was great, I recommend it to
ALL! If you like the "Left Behind" series, this is a MUST!
-- Troy L. Pierce
It's now three days and I am about to begin book three. It is
wonderful to find a piece of literature so compellingly stating what
I have known in my heart and mind for more than 30 years--The Divine
is Within US! Secular humanism has a new speaker. Thank you!!
-- E. Glover, PhD
I first heard about the Trilogy from other readers in a discussion on
the Left Behind webpage. I had just finished "Desecration"
and was bummed because I have to wait a year to see what happens
next. Many of the people in the discussion highly reccommended these
books as a fill in while we all waited for the next Left Behind
installment. I took the chance and ordered all three books at once.
That was only a month ago and I have almost finished "Acts of
God". They are incredible. The Left Behind series are great
books, but I have been blown away by the graphic details of the
events in these books. The asteroid, the locust attacks, the legions
from the depths...I was able to see it all as clearly as if it had
been on t.v. And Christophers explanation of good and evil...at
first, it even had me wondering? Every night when my husband comes
home from work I give him an update on what has happened. My only
problem now is what am I going to read next.
-- Jamie Madden
These three books are so superior to "The Left Behind"
series that any comparison is laughable. I read these books every
morning and was almost late for work a couple of times because I was
so engrossed by the story.
LaHaye and Jenkins would do well to learn how to tell a tale
properly from BeauSeigneur rather than string out a story forever
merely to sell additional books.
Bravo! For a job well done. I am now eagerly awaiting The
Prophecy Study Guide.
-- Bob Kline
The Christ Clone Trilogy is an awesome set of books and one I plan to
recommend many times in the future.
As many other readers have commented, by the end of Book 2, I
was so sickened with the storyline that I was tempted to stop but had
already bought Book 3, so went on ahead and read it. I am SO thankful
that I did! Anyone that is not going to read all three books should
read Book 3 alone and not Books 1 and/or 2!
I have read the entire Left Behind series and while I have
found it interesting, it simply left me unsatisfied. The CCT really
comes full circle with the story and gives hope and reinforced faith
to Christians and Jews, alike.
Many thanks to the author for this excellent series and I am
anxious for his study companion to be printed!
-- Shari
I truly enjoyed the different twist from the beginning and it did
have a lot of true and realistic portions ofwhat is actually taking
place at this very moment. I would love to know if I could purchase
these books (all three) in hardcover. Many of my friends borrow my
books and the first trilogy has been read by 2 people already and is
getting dog earred! please let me know if this is possible. I would
love to continue with the trilogy.
-- Celeste Papa
You have successfully told the end times story from the viewpoint of
those who would experience it. Others use the voice of the
post-Rapture convert. This series artfully and realistically uses the
voice of one distantly familiar with Christian themes, but one who
has lived a life that casually neglected spirituality. Never again
will I have to wonder, "How could the world be so deceived."
The series will give Christians an "out of the box"
perspective that should make "sharing the faith" more
thoughtful, prayerful, and effective. You've done the Church and the
World a tremendous service.
-- Tom Ellis
I have read every endtime book that I could get my hands on, both
fiction and nonfiction. I have read all of the LEFT BEHIND books and
enjoy them. However, The Christ Clone Trilogy is some of the best
Christian Fiction that I have experienced. The author achieves his
goal of attracting the secular crowd. The material is well written
and realistically depicts the horror of the Great Tribulation.
-- Janet Conrad
I've just finished book three of the trilogy. As I read book one, I
wondered, where is this going? As I read book two, I thought, boy is
this ever a book to turn someone onto Satan. I almost stopped right
there. But I kept reading. I'm so very glad I did! If the antichrist
is as believable as the one in the books, and I feel he will be, the
lost will be even more lost. I learned so much from the scriptures
that I didn't know before. If you know a non-believer, give them
these books. They will thank you for them. Praise God Mr.
BeauSeigneur had the courage to write these books! God bless you!
-- Kim Franks
Excellent writing! I have to say, though, that you made the New Age
arguments a little too compelling by writing from an unbeliever's
point of view. I almost didn't read the third book, but I couldn't
bear not to. I'm glad I did! One problem: you didn't explain how the
knights of the crusades removed the shroud from the ark without being
struck dead for touching it. You threw a whole new light on the
rapture. I don't suppose it matters much to us Christians exactly how
it happens, eh? Again, superior writing. I've never been kept on the
edge of my seat like that before.
-- K. Baker
[Thanks, Ken. I've covered this better in the Warner Books
edition. Jim BeauSeigneur]
While reading the second book in this series, I remarked to my
husband that when enough Christians heard about this series, they'd
want them burned! I just finished the third book. WOW!! I'm going to
start over with book one again. I love this trilogy! The only problem
I have is, how do I recommend it to my friends? Once they get to book
2 they'll hate me! How much should I tell them to make sure they read
the last book?
-- Donna Stinson
I have just finished reading the third book of the trilogy. I must
say, there were times when I wasn't certain where it was going, but
after reading each book from cover to cover, it is clear that Mr.
BeauSeigneur has done a great deal of research and made a very clear
statement of Who Christ is and what His Work on the cross has done
for us. Thank you for this excellent treatment of endtimes
prophesies, for a different perspective, and for thoroughly enjoyable
reading. I have read all of the Left Behind series and found them to
be both entertaining and accurate in their portrayal of possible
endtime scenarios, however, the Christ Clone Trilogy offers an
equally realistic portrayal of what the future holds. Thank you for
the time and effort spent in preparing this great work and for the
tremendous testimony of the Grace available to all of us through our
precious Lord and Saviour, Yeshua ha Meshia.
-- David H. Pope, SPHR
I received these books as a Christmas present.Excellent,and could not
put down.Sharing with two other people,who are equally engrossed in
them.When does study guide come out? Gail Schindler
-- Gail Young-Schindler
Half way through book one, I notice the bold type for certain words.
Was there a hinded message in the book(s)?? Great way to keep a
person alert and curious. Interesting books -- can wait to finish.
-- Carolyn Matthews
I finished book one and anxiously await the arrival of book two.
Having also read the Left Behind series, Ive found the first book has
very little "filler" material and more meat. I almost hate
to finish entire series:)
-- Wayne
The Christ Clone Trilogy was incredible! After spotting the books
online while looking for other books from the Left Behind series, I
knew I had to have them. The prospect of cloning Jesus just seemes
too good to be true! The mix of a science fiction story intertwined
with a heavy dose of Biblical prophecy makes these books an excellent
find for anyone interested, even remotely, in learning more about the
End Times. I loved the books so much... they really make a person think.
-- Matt Geoffroy
You left me high and dry on the cause of the "Disaster."
Maybe books II and/or III will answer the question.
-- Duane Monkres
This series of books has been a real eye-opener. I have been reading
end-times fiction for the last few years and have been blown away by
the quality of the writing. The Christ clone trilogy has made me
re-evaluate my beliefs on what the endtimes will be like.
I thank you for having the privilage of being able to read a
series of novels that have both clarity, accuracy and readability. It
was a series that had me hooked from page 1. Please continue writing
fiction books that are so well written.
-- Jeremy Keleher
I really enjoyed this series of books. I like the idea that I could
finish and know what the end outcome would be to be a faithuful
Christian Soldier. Another series I am reading will not finish until
sometime 2004 that is a long time and you could forget a lot of
things that you had read. I would suggest this series to more people.
-- Gail B.
I would not say that "Christ Clone" is better or worse than
"Left Behind" (which I absolutely loved) but it has given
me a whole new perspective on revelation prophecy. I'm most of way
through the 2nd book and I'm blown away. Mr. BeauSeigneur has an
incredible way with descriptive writing that made me feel as though I
was actually there with the characters feeling what they were feeling.
I wish this series had more parts to it because when I'm done
with book three I know I will be longing for more.
-- Michael Milazzo
I am amazed at how a trilogy like this can move me so profoundly!I
found myself so angry reading book 2. Christopher was to believable
and likeable! This makes him way more dangerous than Nicolae(Left
Behind). By the third book I was nauseated. I cried tears of disgust
and sorrow that later turned into tears of joy and rapture! The
authors depiction of the darkness plague was nothing less than
hellish. What else has he written?
-- Mona Petty
A shocking series with an interesting frame of reference. I love the
Left Behind series, which largely tells the tale from a Christian
point-of-view. With these books, you're getting the "bad
guys'" point-of-view, which had me taken aback. It took a little
while before I figured out exactly who the bad guys were. I didn't
know what to expect. The books were well-written and intriguing. In
fact, I read book 2 in less than 48 hours. It was disturbing to see
what a compelling argument the antichrist made (though, being a
Christian, I knew better). The only way I would recommend these books
to a non-Christian is if they would swear to me that they would read
all 3 books, and not stop at the first 2. The madness really shook me
up, and so did the earth being thrown into darkness.
And the way the remaining Christians were treated actually
scared me to death. I do have one question about the books... in the
beginning of Left Behind, all the children under age 13 (age of
adulthood in the eyes of the Church - before Confirmation as
Christians, and before Bar/Bat Mitzvahs in Jews) were raptured. In
Christ Clone Trilogy, that wasn't the case. Why? Why weren't all the
small children and babies raptured? It really disturbes me because
they are completely innocent -- aren't they? Maybe I'm missing
something. Are they "paying for the sins of their fathers?"
Gosh, I'm really having a hard time with that.
After reading the series I became all the more thankful to God
that I'm saved. Putting it mildly, the unsaved are really going to
regret their decision. The author truly paints a horrific picture. I
did enjoy the series, but I was shocked many times over.

I am 45.I am a wife, mother and grandmother. I have just finished the
last book. WOW! They are great! I am going to get others to read them
too. Now I can see why my new age neighbor has believed the lies.She
is so deceived. I am going to give her these books to read. I think
these books cover every area of bible prophesy, well I could be wrong
but it sure seems like it! The only thing I had a hard time with at
first, was the rapture with the dead or empty bodies.But it was
interesting. I always expected the rapture to be the way Enoch was
raptured, I don't see a dead body there. But it did not take away
anything I believe it just enhanced my beliefs. I will be reading
them again! They are so well done. I read them in one week! And I am
not a reader. I read very few books. Mostly about prophesy.I read
while I ate, while my family watched movies. While everyone was
sleeping.I went to sleep reluctantly! I cared about the characters!!
I loved the stories of people that were added and weaved into the
main story. I loved the detail and the way the plagues were
interpreted. There is so much I could say I would be writing all day
and as you can tell I am not a writer and can't explain myself very
well. I just love these books. And I can't wait for the return of
Jesus. Oh I loved the way you didn't see the Antichrist's true nature
untill the end. He is always portrayed as looking sinister and evil
right from the beginning, but this was more like I believe it will
be. Even the elect may be deceived if possible. Thank you so much for
writing these books. The Lord bless you! Love in Christ,
-- Faith Marie Ahmed
It's hard to find words to express my appreciation for this trilogy.
I only bought them on a whim at Half Price Books and only because
they were all there. I can't understand how anyone could have let
them go. I could not put them down. I was totally engrossed.
-- M. Brockman
After burning out on the "other" end-times series, I was
reluctant to spend my money on this trilogy. Wow! I have no regrets.
I devoured all three books within weeks (despite the other books I
was in the middle of), and now count the trilogy among the most
provocative and entertaining books I've ever read.
And I've read a lot. The premise, the characters, the
deception, and the final light of the truth...it's all here, and
"it's all good!"
-- Eric Wilson
Where Do I start?? It seems to say this series of books were "
Excellent, Wonderful, Great" is just not enough to fully convey
to someone else what a master piece this truly is. I have never
written to an author nor have I ever written a review about a book.
But after reading this entire series I can't tell enough people about
these books. I am an avid book reader and how I judge if a book is
good, is if I can't put it down after starting to read it. Well I
received all 3 books late Thursday evening, and like everyone else I
couldn't stop reading. I was completely finished by Saturday
afternoon. However, in the middle of reading book 2, I had to gather
my courage and faith to go on reading. I was totally shocked, the
character "Christopher" was so well written in book one,
imagine my surprise in book two. I actually thought about throwing
away or burning my entire set. Book three more than made up for my
shock. After completing it, I spent the next 2 hours telling the
entire story to my sister and 2 neighbors, whom I had ignored until I
finished reading that afternoon :) They were captivated by the story
as well, and now all 3 would like to read my set of books. Mr.
Beauseigneur I commend you on writing this "Master Piece"!!!
-- G. Byrd
Tuve el tremendo gusto de leer los tres libros,, soy un excelente
lector, informatico y ademas un creyente Cristiano. Sin importar mis
gustos literarios que son muy variados ni mis creencias, esta novela
vale su peso en oro,,, la trama es sencillamente fascinante... Me
ofresco a colaborar en la traduccion de esta obra... seria muy
importante para los lectores de
habla hispana
tremendo libro !!!!!
-- Carlos Cordoba
I really loved the Christ clone trilogy, and as a biochemistry
graduate student I know enough about science to know that this stuff
is very accurate. Book 2 did a masterful job, both with the
descriptions of the disasters and with the masterful manipulation of
Christopher. I was almost convinced that the Antichrist was the good
guy. Book 3 was a perfect finish to an amazing series, and a very
unforgiving way of looking at biblical prophesy.
-- Andrew Hockert
GREAT!! GREAT!! GREAT!!!!!!
-- Randall Kelly
I must say your books really made me look into scripture, gave me a
hunger to know Gods word better and reading the last chapter of Acts
of God touched my heart and made me long for Christs return. I've
only cried once over a book (Other then the Bible) and that was in
sixth grade when our teacher read 'Where the Red Fern Grows'. That
was sentimental, your last book however God used to give me a new
desire for eternal things and that produced tears of joy. Thank you.
-- Von Glitschka
I am glad I came to this site today. I just finished the 2nd book
last night. As several people stated here, after reading the 2nd
book, as a Christian, it is tempting to stop there and burn the books
as blasphemy. Christopher's explanation of Yahweh as the egotistical
bad guy and Lucifer as the reasonable benevolent good guy is too
convincing. I will read the 3rd book because of what I've read on
this web site today, but as others stated, I am afraid that New Agers
could use Christopher's argument quite convincingly. Maybe this could
be one book rather than 3 to keep readers all the way to the end.
-- Sheila Whittemore
I just finished the first book IN HIS IMAGE and agree with many of
the comments here that this is much better written and more realistic
than the Left Behind Series. I have trudged through that whole series
and have only kept with it because I'm the type of person that has to
know the end. THE CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY is a refreshing change.
-- Laura
I have several novels that deal with eschatology, and this may be the
most engaging series yet. One deficiency I find here, which is true
for the others, as well, is how the characters are predominantly
Western. It is difficult for me to wrap my mind around so many
Americans being so globally prominent. These types of books will
always be difficult for thinking people of other cultures.
-- David Moore
It took me awhile to understand where you were going and I have to
admit the cloning kind of turned me off. But all three books were
great. Wishing they would only be sold as a set though, as I can see
by some of your readers comments that had only read the first two
definitely were missing the mark. Without the third book it was only
an interesting fiction. With the third book a light of truth turns
on. Thanks!!!
-- Bernie Brown
Excellent story line and interesting reading. Makes one stop and
think that there is more out there in the universe than just space.
Kept me on the edge of my seat. I enjoy the characters and the author
helps the reader to separate fact from fiction. Very entertainig and
am lookng forward to reading the other two books.
-- Cindy Hunt
MUCH, MUCH more than I expected -- Adjectives fail me in trying to
describe these books. The quality of writing is superb. I feel they
take "Christian" writing to a level that with the exception
of some of Frank Peretti's books, we seldom see. The books are
definately page turners - my husband still can't figure out why my
nose has been in a book for the last three days. More people need to
know about these books. Thanks for an excellent job!
-- Joyce A. Lighari
All I can say is -WOW! This guy thinks like me. When's the movie
coming out! The Trilogy puts the watered down Left Behind series to
shame. I've read all the LB series and had disagreements with most of
the material but the CCT is close to how I see things happening
during the Tribulation. Keep up the great work Mr. BeauSeigneur!
-- Robert Cody
I am just finishing book 2 of the trilogy, and I'm deeply affected.
It is upsetting, almost discouraging, but I have read the BOOK and am
looking forward to the third book. I would highly recommend the books
on audio for listeners like myself who have a sizable commute every
day. I am just hoping that getting my hands on Book 3 won't take too
long. I don't know if I can stand the wait!!! My compliments to the
author for this amazingly detailed and believable work. I love the
characters, but I'm going to be soooo mad if something doesn't turn
around for Decker!
-- John K. Stroud
This is by far the best-researched and best-written series on the end
times. From the analysis of the Shroud of Turin to the destruction
caused by the asteroids, the author's command of science lends
complete credibility. Your "clues" page should include the
nature of Christopher's pre-natal beginnings, his name itself and the
fact that he is a wholly likable character who grabs the readers'
sympathy. This is exactly what he's supposed to be like. When the
"nature of the beast" becomes obvious in book two, his
questions and statements about Yahweh echo some of the very
complaints and excuses I threw around before I believed, questions
that make complete sense to those who are not yet called. I can't
believe I stumbled across these books in my local library. I'm
thinking that I will buy two sets, one to donate to my church library
and one to loan out to everyone I can.
