Riveting, Dramatic, And Action-Packed

Following the 30-year conflict known as The Great War, the citizens of the world are all subject to the control of The United Nations, which uses what's left of NATO to enforce its constrictive laws. Chief among them: the complete outlawing of all religions, which was cited as the cause of the extended global conflict that nearly destroyed the entire world. Into this oppressive society emerges Marcellus, a former high-ranking Bishop of the Catholic Church fresh off a 20-year bid for leading a Christmas Mass. Unbowed by society's efforts to cower him into virtual slavery, Marcellus is determined to re-launch The Christ Project, a long-abandoned attempt by an all-but-extinguished underground resistance to topple the New World Order that the UN has created. As his crusade unfolds, Marcellus makes invaluable friends and dangerous enemies - but nothing can prepare him for just what the future has in store for him - and the entire world... Riveting, dramatic, and action-packed, The Christ Project is a bona fide instant classic. In his imaginative fast-paced thriller, author Donald Allen Kirch combines outstanding character development, an engrossing plotline, and nerve-wracking suspense to form a superbly crafted tale. Furthermore, Kirch's masterful use of religious history and symbolism lends his story an added element of refreshing, genuine authenticity. With a captivating storyline and superior storytelling, The Christ Project is sure to keep readers turning page after page in breathless anticipation. A can't miss thriller from an impressive literary talent. Josee Morgan Apex Reviews

Wow, what a great story!

This is a terriffic story. Beautifully written and what a great cover! Amazing because the Shroud of Turin is all over the news today - April 4th, '09. And when I heard that the Pope gave credit for protecting it during those dangerous early years to the Knights Templar, I felt like - hey, I know all about them! This book has everything, humor, excitement, honesty, and a real sense of what matters in life, in people. I loved the non-judgemental and inclusive quality of Mr Kirch's writing. All in all, that is what makes this book so special.

Kept Me Guessing

As the author of, The Second Virgin Birth, I have to say that Mr. Kirch's book is very believable, with well developed-characters with amazing dialogue that surrounds an action-packed story that will keep you guessing the entire time. It's an easy read, and extremely well written.

couldn't stop reading
