The Last Christian

The Last Christian, written by David Gregory of Dinner with a Perfect Stranger fame, is a fantastic book! I could not put it down.

The book is about Abby, who was raised in a jungle in Papau, New Guinea, with her missionary parents. The world had some major changes while they were there, and in that time the world was forbidden from contacting that tribe to preserve it's roots. So, Abby and her family had no contact with the outside world. Over the years her family passed away, but Abby remained until the entire tribe started getting deathly ill.

The world Abby finds when she comes out for help is fantastically changed. Nobody believes in God anymore and people have chips in their brains to be connected to the Internet and to virtual reality at any time they choose.

It is very exciting and suspenseful reading. To be honest, though, there were parts of the book that I was concerned about at a Christian. I wasn't sure what the author was trying to say about God in some of the parts toward the end. I have loved David Gregory's other books, but there was just this little concern over a part of the book. But it is a fiction book, and a great read, no doubt about that!

Summary:
After her remote village is annihilated by disease, a cryptic message from her grandfather launches Abby Caldwell into the seemingly impossible task of re-introducing the Christian faith in a late twenty first century, secular, trans-human America.
