The Judas Gospel: A Novel

Written by Bill Myers

Narrated by Bill Myers

From the most original mind in supernatural suspense... Award-winning Bill Myers asks: "What would happen if Judas came back today?" Judas wants a second chance. As a marketing expert, he never understood why God didn't use his abilities to sell Jesus to the masses and more effectively save the world. So God allows Judas to return to earth today to become the PR manager of a powerful young prophetess growing up in the inner city. But she has some very dark baggage... Among her supernatural powers come horrifying dreams of a serial killer stalking the city. Dreams so realistic that she may be the killer. At least that's what the LAPD detectives think. And they may not be wrong. Either way, Judas sees this as the perfect media opportunity to turn the young woman into an evangelical superstar. Utilizing the latest tools and ploys of today's televangelists (the good and the bad), Judas uses her to sell the gospel like never before...while slowly and gradually destroying her soul. The Judas Gospel is both a supernatural thriller and a thought-provoking look at today's mass marketing of Jesus Christ.

Starting off with a truly unique idea The Judas Gospel by Bill Myers captured me from the first page. He presents a highly engaging and smoothly written novel, combining the Christian theme with a suspenseful thriller quite perfectly. Though this isn't just any old whodunnit, the main focus of the story is on the what-if of celestial proportions.Judas believes that God could draw in even more flock with the right, well, business strategies. In the person of Rachel, who has visions and healing hands, he tries to prove his point by marketing this new prophet. Throw in the fact that Rachel witnesses several killings in her visions and soon becomes the main suspect in police investigations and you've got quite a page-turner in front of you.At first I feared that both threads of the book might not come together as well as they did, but the author managed to make an incredible scenario as fictitiously believable as possible. The characters are well developed and feel real down to the minor cast. And the story will keep you on your toes from beginning to end. The message is clear too – it's not about crowds, but touching individuals.While this is certainly a Christian book, I didn't perceive it at all as preachy. I think it shows really well what humankind's relationship to God is and isn't about without forcing religion on the reader.In short: An unusual and suspenseful take on biblical principles!
