Publisher's summary

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.

Critic reviews

"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)

fantastic.

This book was an exceptional novel about the potential future of our nation and what that can lead to and our spirituality. It was very moving and helped to evaluate how even though intentions may be good, it can lead to catastrophic results I enjoyed this book and have recommended it to many many friends. Enjoy!

This book certainly makes you think of possibilities the future holds if Christ doesn't return before then.... The story overall was engaging. ..

Amazing and believable!

David Gregory did a fantastic job depicting a future without Christianity. It is plain to see how society today is already heading in that direction with a little help from technology and the government. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

Not a SciFi Fan, but a Christian who likes a good story

Generally I’m not a sci-fi fan, but this book was wonderful! It was tough getting into the story in the beginning, but it soon picked up. What was so captivating for me was the plausibility of this story. With the current state of Christianity & the current & ever advancing technology, something of this magnitude could happen. GREAT STORY!

Loved this book!

This is one of those good books that gets you hooked at the very beginning and you cannot just skip to the ending. Many books I do skip to the end, this one occupied my mind the entire time. You will not regret listening to this book.

Insightful and well plotted

I’m amazed this was written over a decade ago, I truly feel this author had prophetic insight which he creatively entangled in this fictional story given where we are with technology today. Especially love the very ending of this book. Well done.

I enjoyed this book more than anything I’ve read since I read the Tolkien trilogy.

I really enjoyed the book. I couldn’t stop listening! The characters were well developed and easily identified with.
I truly enjoyed the ride!
