The book was divided into three sections. It wasn't until section two did things really get going. Once you get into section two it is a suspenseful and enjoyable read. I loved the originality of the concept and the writer's ability to make the science very understandable. ( )

This is perhaps the first "suspense" book I ever read, and I still count it among the best.

The DNA of Christ discovered on the Shroud of Turin? What could be a more earth-shattering discovery? Well ... what if you injected that DNA into a known criminal (a criminal on Death Row, no less), in an attempt to harness the power of Christ to alter personality?

Such is the case in Blood of Heaven - I won't give away ANY of the plot here, because the book works best as a complete surprise. For a Christian reader, it's a very contemplative look at how faith overcomes anything - nature, personality, compulsion. What part of his transformation is due to some mysterious DNA, and what part does faith play in it? ( )

What if the DNA of Jesus Christ was discovered and cloned in another human? What if that human was a killer?

Mysterious blood has been discovered on the remains of an ancient religious artifact. Some believe it is the blood of Christ. And experiments with specific genes from the blood have brought surprising findings. Now it’s time to introduce those genes into a human.

Enter Michael Coleman: multiple killer, death-row resident . . . and, if he is willing, human guinea pig.

There are no promises. The effects may kill Coleman or completely destroy his sanity. He agrees to the experiment, with results so astonishing that the research must continue—but not in prison. Given a new identity and new employer, Kathryn Lyon, Coleman reenters society. And that’s when a plot far darker than science alone could construct begins to emerge.

Blood of Heaven is a nonstop page-turner that looks deep into the heart of man, examining the nature of good and evil, flesh versus spirit, and the ever-growing controversy over genetically determined behavior. ( )
