In a last-ditch attempt to convince his TV producers to run a story on alternate realities, Davis Conrad decides to film the professor who convinced him that such realities exist. Along the way, after a strange accident he can't remember, Davis finds himself fleeing police by hopping into a VW van straight out of the 1960s. The group he's with, dressed in tie-dye and peace symbols, head for a motel laundry room, where they've heard that a miracle will occur. As he lays eyes on an unnamed baby boy, Davis flashes back to a sterile white room, where he seems to be hooked up to machinery. Then, he realizes two things: he's actually popping in and out of an alternate reality where people will think he's crazy if he says anything, and all of the Bibles he can find don't include the New Testament. And the child in the alternate reality? His name is Eli, and he is just starting to prove to one and all that he is the Son of God. Myers (Blood of Heaven) seems to start out in circles but sets up a thought-provoking plot revolving around a simple question: What if Jesus came now for the first time? With this thrilling and ominous tale, Myers continues to shine brightly in speculative fiction based on biblical truths. Highly recommended.

Amazing book. I really loved it. It takes a different look at what if Jesus came today, and that gives an inspirational spin for all Christians.

This book was just not for me. I started it and then put it down. Couldn't get into the story.

This book was ingeniously written. I really enjoyed reading this book, I could hardly put it down. Bill Myers is an excellent author who draws you into the story as if you are a part of it.

I couldn't stop reading this book! The whole idea of parallel worlds & Jesus coming today is a really facinating idea. I really like the way this writer thinks!

Interesting story... A man is in a coma and is living in an alternate universe where Jesus is on earth in present times; except his name is Eli...

One of the best books I have read by this author! Especially good for those feeling stagnant in their walk with God, it puts a new fresh perspective on the Gospel account
