Publisher Description
An atheist journalist receives an invitation to tell the story of a young man who claims to be the Second Coming of Christ. Despite his misgivings, the reporter accepts the assignment and begins to learn more about this young man's life. As he delves deeper into the story, the journalist slowly begins to believe in the boy's sincerity, but the more he uncovers, the more unsettled he becomes as he starts to ask unanswerable questions – has this boy been sent from above? If so, has he come to save us from our sins or punish us for them?

Add this to your summer reading list!
Rife with characters you can cheer for and with a plot at once gripping and uniquely its own, Before the Flood is tough to put down. I could relate easily to the protagonist, Thomas (a journalist assigned to cover the story of a young latino boy claiming he is the second coming of Christ), and to his skepticism at the start of the book. As I became more and more entwined in the story, I found myself wondering, as Thomas did, what to believe. I always think highly of books that inspire an inner dialogue...that spark questions you're left contemplating well after you've finished - Before the Flood does just that. An eerily captivating read. Highly recommend it.
Congratulations
To John on his first book.
Very excited to begin tomorrow morning on the plane!
