  <description><![CDATA[It's the end of life on earth as we know it in this page-turning  apocalyptic novel <em>In His Image</em>, the first installment of the Christ Clone Trilogy. Newspaper editor Decker wangles his way onto a scientific  expedition that examines the Shroud of Turin, believed by many to be the burial  shroud of Jesus Christ. When body cells stuck to the shroud are found to be  &quot;alive,&quot; they are cloned, and the resulting baby, Christopher, changes the  course of history. The book is an interesting mix of fact and fiction (when was  the last time you read a novel with footnotes?). There are nice touches of  humor, and a dollop of prophetic scripture. It's difficult to peg who's &quot;good&quot; and who's &quot;evil,&quot; which admirably sustains the suspense. A good  edit might have smoothed some of the rough spots, and the use of bold type for  emphasis is distracting. However, those less interested in the nuances of fine  literature than in a fast-paced thriller will find that this novel covers all  the bases. <em>--Cindy Crosby</em>]]></description>

The book is an interesting mix of fact and fiction (when was  the last time you read a novel with footnotes?). There are nice touches of  humor, and a dollop of prophetic scripture. It's difficult to peg who's &quot;good&quot; and who's &quot;evil,&quot; which admirably sustains the suspense. A good  edit might have smoothed some of the rough spots, and the use of bold type for  emphasis is distracting. However, those less interested in the nuances of fine  literature than in a fast-paced thriller will find that this novel covers all  the bases. <em>--Cindy Crosby</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[It's the end of life on earth as we know it in this page-turning  apocalyptic novel <em>In His Image</em>, the first installment of the Christ Clone Trilogy. Newspaper editor Decker wangles his way onto a scientific  expedition that examines the Shroud of Turin, believed by many to be the burial  shroud of Jesus Christ. When body cells stuck to the shroud are found to be  &quot;alive,&quot; they are cloned, and the resulting baby, Christopher, changes the  course of history.

    <![CDATA[It's the end of life on earth as we know it in this page-turning  apocalyptic novel <em>In His Image</em>, the first installment of the Christ Clone Trilogy. Newspaper editor Decker wangles his way onto a scientific  expedition that examines the Shroud of Turin, believed by many to be the burial  shroud of Jesus Christ. When body cells stuck to the shroud are found to be  &quot;alive,&quot; they are cloned, and the resulting baby, Christopher, changes the  course of history. The book is an interesting mix of fact and fiction (when was  the last time you read a novel with footnotes?). There are nice touches of  humor, and a dollop of prophetic scripture. It's difficult to peg who's &quot;good&quot; and who's &quot;evil,&quot; which admirably sustains the suspense. A good  edit might have smoothed some of the rough spots, and the use of bold type for  emphasis is distracting. However, those less interested in the nuances of fine  literature than in a fast-paced thriller will find that this novel covers all  the bases. <em>--Cindy Crosby</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[It's the end of life on earth as we know it in this page-turning  apocalyptic novel <em>In His Image</em>, the first installment of the Christ Clone Trilogy. Newspaper editor Decker wangles his way onto a scientific  expedition that examines the Shroud of Turin, believed by many to be the burial  shroud of Jesus Christ. When body cells stuck to the shroud are found to be  &quot;alive,&quot; they are cloned, and the resulting baby, Christopher, changes the  course of history. The book is an interesting mix of fact and fiction (when was  the last time you read a novel with footnotes?). There are nice touches of  humor, and a dollop of prophetic scripture. It's difficult to peg who's &quot;good&quot; and who's &quot;evil,&quot; which admirably sustains the suspense. A good  edit might have smoothed some of the rough spots, and the use of bold type for  emphasis is distracting. However, those less interested in the nuances of fine  literature than in a fast-paced thriller will find that this novel covers all  the bases. <em>--Cindy Crosby</em>]]>
