The Last Christian

A Novel

De: David Gregory

Narrado por: Lincoln Hoppe

A.D. 2088. Missionary daughter Abigail Caldwell emerges from the jungle for the first time in her 34 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 futuristic thriller, startling near-future science collides with thought-provoking theology. The Last Christian is a provocative "what if?" novel from David Gregory, best-selling author of Dinner with a Perfect Stranger.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The plotting is intricate and imaginative, and the religious elements go beyond formula....Gregory's approach is fresh, and he's produced a page-turner." ( Publishers Weekly)

Amazing!!

I am not a big Christian fiction book fan. The first few chapters started out as a book I didn't think I would like. However since I had paid for it, I commuted to finishing it! I am SO GLAD I DID!! The author did a fantastic job building the characters and the story! It was suspenseful and fun to guess where it was going. I loved everything about this book. You should read it! You won't regret it!

The Last Christian

This was was absolutely worth the ‘read’!
Though this story is set in the future, much of it is similar or imaginable to our world today! Additionally, Christianity, here in America, has already lost MUCH of her impact and could face a crisis set forth in this book in the near future!
Very thought-provoking and imaginative!

Listen at 1.250 speed.

The recording is a little slow listen at 1.250 speed and it will sound normal. I enjoyed the story, but felt like the ending was rushed.

Not as bad as some reviews make it out to be.

it was a decent read. not as much about the gospel of Jesus in it as I would've expected, but the premise is there. the story was decently written.

great read!

I recommended this book to my 3 daughters,
different type of futuristic read that held my attention throughout, first page too last.

One of the best stories I have ever experienced

This book was full of emotion and surprises. I am overwhelmed by realistic nature of the story. Very thought provoking.

Wow

Amazing story. So many parallels to things we see in today's society. Will make you think and the ending I'm not ashamed to say made me almost emotional.

great and creepy

I saw this was written around 2004. It is creepy how much has actually happened like the book said already. I really liked the characters and the story.

My thoughts on the last Christian

I would recommend this book to any of my friends who read science fiction and Christian fiction. And maybe just anyone. This book is not too far-fetched. Especially the title. It is very thought-provoking, suspenseful, and educational. I truly hope that the science fiction part of this book always stays fiction and never fact.

Excellent book very thought provoking.

Excellent book very thought provoking storyline.
Character development was very good and plot was thought out.
