  <default_description>Murray Katz, the celibate keeper of an abandoned lighthouse near Atlantic City, has been blessed with a daughter conceived of his own seed and a holy ovum.  Like her half brother Jesus, Julie Katz can walk on water, heal the blind, and raise the dead.  But being the Messiah isn't easy, and Julie, bewildered by her role in the divine scheme of things, is tempted by the Devil and challenged by neo- Christian zealots in this lively odyssey through Hell and New Jersey. Winner of the World Fantasy Award.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Excellent book about a jewish bachelor who ends up &quot;giving birth&quot; to Jesus' half-sister, Julie.  Julie has the typical struggles of a teenager and young adult, combined with the question of &quot;why does Mom never talk to me?&quot;  and &quot;what is my mission anyway?&quot;  and &quot;wh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33303017">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this quite a while ago.  I didn't like the ending but really, I wouldn't know how to end a book like this either.  It is a fun read but it isn't anything particularly new to those who really like to question or make fun of organized religion.  The characterization is quite good though, dealin...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24679745">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as Morrow's &quot;Blameless in Abaddon&quot; or &quot;The Last Witchfinder,&quot;  but it's still a great read.  I enjoy Morrow's exploration of theology.  The description of hell and the role of God are both rather haunting in this novel.  &quot;Tears for every...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1490568">more...</a>]]></body>

You're single, you live in a lighthouse, you decide to raise the virgin birth that is solely of your loins but you soon learn your daughter is the messiah herself.
