 I was glad that I read it after I did Jun 15, 2009
I met Tommy on Goodreads and seen this book he had written. The title put me off a little but I thought I'll give it a try. After reading, I was so glad I did. The book has some action added to that quite a bit of adventure, which made the book very exciting to read. I never thought for a minute that they would do what the characters were trying to do. You do not clone the almighty but it sure made a lot of poeple in this book unhappy when they said they could. They way it was left, you really don't know if they did or not. Tommy did a great job writing this book. I enjoyed reading the book and would recommend this book to others.

My Review of: The Second Virgin Birth
By: Tommy Taylor
[...].
[...], The Second Virgin Birth.
Well, I just finished it and I am wondering how to review a book like
this one. First I must say, if I had not fallen asleep at two o'clock
in the morning I would have read it in one sitting, nonstop, because
the story is that good. To ease the author's mind it was not the
story that caused my slumber but a busy day in the sun that just plain
caught up with me. The following morning I finished my reading. I
closed the book, and as I often do, after reading a good book, I
leaned back and reflected on the experience. Somehow I always feel as
though I have lost my best friend after I complete a novel that has
immersed me as much as this one had.
Tommy Taylor tells a story of greed, and reprehensible religious
corruption, yet underlying it all is a benevolent God who is guiding
events and lives in order to bring a new born baby into the world. His
son will be reborn, or the King of Kings, our Lord and Savior who will
be a brother of Jesus with a new name bestowed upon him by his mother,
Mary, with the ever present guidance of God. The intrigue and
intensity of the story makes you say to yourself, yes, if God were to
decide to bring another of his sons into the world the difficulties he
would face, within modern times, would be so much more complex than in
the ancient world. Nevertheless, the basic forms of evil that would
need to be overcome would be essentially the same.
My personal beliefs have nothing to do with why or how much I enjoyed
Taylor's novel. I wish all people would read this book - people who
belong to every religion of the world. The reality of organized
religion and the protective walls and manipulative teachings they
depend upon for their very survival would be torn apart should Jesus,
the son of God, walk the Earth once again.
What I found interesting about Taylor's means of bringing his massage
to his readers through a story of intrigue and suspense is that he
playfully allowed the common images and the biblical fables of the
past, and even the names of the ancient historical figures that were a
part of the birth of Christianity, to be interjected into the story as
if an effort would surely be made by those involved to honor the
teachings and the sacred circumstances that surrounded the first birth
of Christ.
Finally, I believe Tommy Taylor, with this Novel,has taken the dreaded
teachings of the evangelists and their wild predictions of the end of
the world, and given us, through The Second Virgin Birth, reason to
hope that, should a second coming ever happen,we may not be aware of
it until we are meant to be aware of it, and at that time our becoming
aware will be a time of enlightenment for all of mankind, not just
those who have given themselves, their money, or their belief system
over to any one church doctrine, whether it be Islam, Christianity,
Judaism, or Buddhism, but it will be an unbiased enlightenment that
will change mankind forever.
I loved your book Tommy Taylor. I want everyone to read it and want
everyone to embrace the ending, because it is the final words of the
book that are the most joyous.
Keep writing Tommy.

The Second Coming May 14, 2009
We are living in a time when the imaginative thoughts of people are given full reign unlike any other time in our history. Tommy Taylor has taken his free thoughts to imaginative levels one can only say is inspired to stretch the hearts and minds of theologians everywhere.
The thought of Christ entering our world through cloning is more than a possibility. Even if science makes the slightest mistake in the remaking of the Christ story, there will be some who believe and those who do not believe. Such is the case in any story fabalized into society. People will take the story to places where their own interpretations can be accepted and use their personalities to challenge the beliefs of others for their own agenda.
For the last 2,000 years, our world has taken the first virgin birth to relate to or engage in conflicts to mediate his or her own personality seeking manifestation in the world of form. Why would this book be any different? I believe it would be more than facinating to live in a time where the events spoke of in this fictional story became a nonfictional reality. I can't help from wonder though who would be crucified first. Would it be the second coming of Jesus or his mother?
This book is one that should be read by anyone and those going into ministry. It is a book needed to be taken seriously by considering it's premises as a wonderful work of art expanding the hearts and minds of those who read it.

Thriller with a Twist May 11, 2009
It's hard to imagine that the spiritual/archeological thriller that Dan Brown created with the Da Vinci Code could become even more enthralling, but Tommy Taylor has mananged to accomplish it. His unique story idea of cloning Jesus'DNA, coupled with top-notch writing talent, have resulted in a fascinating, hypnotic read. Intellectual adventure at its best.
A Battle for Today May 11, 2009
In his novel, The Second Virgin Birth, Tommy Taylor introduces a 15 year old, seemingly mentally challenged girl named Mary. She is unique; she believes she will give birth to the Son of God. Destiny demands that the doctors who are working to clone the DNA from a man, who died two thousand years ago, meet Mary. After all, the DNA was gathered from the Shroud of Turin.
Mary's impregnation with the clone of the Son of God is successful and then starts the war between the Pope and Mary's Army of the Faithful. The Pope is afraid he will lose the battle to lead the faithful Christians of the world and hires mercenaries to have Mary killed.
Read Mr. Taylor's fascinating novel, to find who wins this battle. A battle that very well could happen with today's science.
