Column Appertaining To Books The Second Son

I read this book when I was still in highschool. I love it when books make you think about possibilities and your own beliefs. This book left it's mark on me and it became one of my favorite books of all time and after having read a lot of books since highschool, it remains as one of my favorites until now...

I read this long ago. I want to read it again, but can't find it. I hope it reprints someday.

I loved the premise. Who is Joseph Turner and what was happening to him? Was it real or all a dream? Joseph was a great hero - strong of heart and mind, generous, open, kind, and non-judgemental. I really wanted to know what would become of him. But, as much as I liked the premise and first half of the book, I was equally disappointed with the rest. It became so glaringly obvious in its intent that it turned me off. It became very heavy handed and the authors problem with religion and authority

I really enjoyed the first half of this book. The idea for the plot of this novel had so many great possibilities, but in my opinion the story fell short and became very "Hollywood" in the later chapters.

I read this book a long time ago, I think it was some kind of Book Club choice. A warm hearted, good man has miracles happen to him and around him. Turns out he's the man the Vatican has been waiting for to fulfill a prophecy. But Joseph is too hands on for the establishment's liking... at least until his third lease on life is over.

Great story and at one time was going to be made into a movie but its regilious plot points were too controversial. FYI: I found a great web link (see below) that will tell you all you need to know about this book.http://www.mondo-video.com/books-that...

While not a religous person, I do find religous fiction often entertaining. Charles Sailor's "Second Son" is well written and thought-provoking. A very good read.
