From Goodreads:
In The Second Coming: A Love Story, the devilish new novel by Scott Pinsker, the culture war between Red America and Blue America turns shockingly real when two self-declared saviors appear on earth. The first “messiah” attracts legions of liberal and secular-progressive followers with his message of New Age brotherhood, quickly becoming the darling of the left. The second “messiah” preaches fire-and-brimstone traditional Christianity, gaining a grassroots army of conservative worshippers ready to battle to the death.
It’s finally happened: Red America and Blue America are headed for Armageddon!
My Thoughts:
When I was first asked to read and review this book I was intrigued enough to say yes. I'm glad I did. I am impressed that the author chose not to take a side in this story. It is told in a way that you walk away wondering which man is which. I like that element. It gives the reader food for thought. Don't think you will read this book which show us two men both claiming to be the returned messiah, and find out which one is which. You won't learn this. I loved that it was set up so that the two me approach it the way politicians would. The constant question running through the book is "What if"? Would I recommend this book? Yes I would. I would not categorize this as Christian because there are too many questions left open. I would suggest you get a copy and read it for yourself.
