Customer Reviews

Very readable

Essentially there is nothing wrong with this book - in fact it is very compelling and readable and as such deserves a 4 star rating.Still in saying that I wonder what made Colleen write about such a religious event but duplicated in the future? It is not offensive in my mind but others who take the Christian religion seriously may see this book as blasphemy.Others like me who are not so worried will find this an easy and entertaining read that will leave you feeling a trifle sad about the world she has created in this novel.

Indictment of Our Society on the Verge of the Millennium

I read this years ago and it stays with me. I looked it up just now to recommend it to a friend. I didn't feel that this book should be so simply explained as an attempt to rehash the story of the New Testament. I feel that it showed the fallacy of Man and Orwellian government at the start of the New Millennium attempting to artificially create a passion similar to that of Jesus to appease and inspire the demoralized dumb masses. I see parallells of this book in our society today. I hope that having read "Stranger In a Strange Land" didn't affect my perception of this book to much, because comparisons can be made with it also. This was not written for the "Thornbirds" crowd. "Creed for the Third Millennium" is worth reading and thinking about.

Don't read this book in Winter!

A frighteningly possible view of the not-so-distant future. A book you will want to read more than once, it may change your attitude about our wasteful society, politics and the future of our world
