The Jerusalem Helix

De: Sue Stephenson

Narrado por: Matt Addis

In this mainstream thriller, Christ's DNA is discovered in an ancient relic—and secretly used to create a clone. This is the story of Jesus' human twin—and his quest for identity in 21st Century America. Who will this young man be exactly? And how will we react when he leaves his sheltered childhood and enters our modern world?

The novel is reminiscent of such thought-provoking classics as The Alchemist (Paolo Coelho) and Siddhartha (Hermann Hesse). It has been a great selection for book clubs all over the country.

Thought Provoking and Gripping

Listened to this during a long road trip, and I didn't want to pull over for gas just so I could keep listening! I felt like I was watching a movie. With solid character development and a fascinating take on what Jesus' life might be like if he came back to earth, the author tells a story that kept me engaged and eager to hear what was next in the character's journey. Highly recommend.

A great escape and a great story

Audiobook read like a good Netflix series. Loved the hero’s personality: strong, steady, earnest, and humble. His adventures, travels, and the characters he met were amusing and clever. Had insomnia at 2 am and couldn't resist listening. A wonderful narration voice. Loved it!

Such a intense and admirable story!

“This book could not have come at a better time, and it’s my top recommendation to anyone who complains they’re bored during the quarantine. Stephenson’s book is not only entertaining but completely original, while still being respectful of all religions and beliefs. Her characters are well rounded and the writing is transporting. The actor performance in the audiobook was really entertaining his French accent for the caractère of Cherie was delightful, I’m French myself I can relate to it. What a wonderful world to get lost in during this crazy time we’re living in!”

The Right Read for This Moment!

The Secret Jesus is exactly the right antidote to the disruption, distress and chaos of this unprecedented moment in our history. The Secret Jesus speaks to universals in the midst of upheaval; read with a calm, soothing tone, the Secret Jesus melds science and theology to deliver an uncannily relevant message. The Secret Jesus sees transcendence in the most quotidian of details and invites readers to do the same. Stephenson's skillfully crafted narrative weaves religion, spirituality, and science into a seamless web. If everyone were to sit back, close their eyes, and simply listen to this mellifluous reader and spellbinding story, much good would come from the ensuing decrease in our collective anxiety. I strongly recommend this book to everyone, especially now.

Amazing, powerful story with a wopper ending

The story has a wild premise and kept surprising me. The writer has wonderful storytelling ability. The final chapters are hair-raising and it finishes with a powerful message. The narrator is superb. A good read!
