ABOUT THE BOOK:

The Last Christian
David Gregory

In the future, it’s possible to live forever—but at what cost?

A.D. 2088.

Missionary daughter Abigail Caldwell emerges from the jungle for the first time in her thirty-four years, the sole survivor of a mysterious disease that killed her village. Abby goes to America, only to discover a nation where Christianity has completely died out. A curious message from her grandfather assigns her a surprising mission: re-introduce the Christian faith in America, no matter how insurmountable the odds.

But a larger threat looms. The world's leading artificial intelligence industrialist has perfected a technique for downloading the human brain into a silicon form. Brain transplants have begun, and with them comes the potential of eliminating physical death altogether—but at what expense?

As Abby navigates a society grown more addicted to stimulating the body than nurturing the soul, she and Creighton Daniels, a historian troubled by his father's unexpected death, become unwitting targets of powerful men who will stop at nothing to further their nefarious goals. Hanging in the balance—the spiritual future of all humanity.

In this fast-paced thriller, startling near-future science collides with thought-provoking religious themes to create a spell-binding "what-if?" novel.

MY THOUGHTS:
I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Not only were the characters true, the plot lines legit, and the story well told, I was challenged in my Christian faith. My eyes were opened to a part of the gospel that so easily and so unfortunately gets overlooked. It just makes sense. I was kind of worried when I knew that this would technically be considered a science fiction/futuristic-type of novel. I am SO GLAD that I gave it a chance. It's crazy the logical steps that our society could very well take to completely remove their need for God and how faulty evolutionary thinking is on worldviews and belief systems. It is important to remember that God made man in His image--we are not just a random cluster of atoms and particles that have no meaning, no value. Definitely a must read.
