Product Description
Do we have the technology enabling Christ to be born again of a second virgin mother? A six year old little girl in Alabama knows we do. The Pope is afraid we do. The world asks "should we if we can?" The book follows the life of a little girl in Alabama who goes completely insane at the age of six and is confined to a state mental hospital. In a strange twist of fate, she is chosen, "by God," to become the mother of his son, the next Madonna in the second coming of Christ. Explore her life as there are those who adore and worship her and there are those who loathe her and will do anything to end her life before her son is born. This story is a true "can't put it down" book.

From the Publisher
Rarely does a book come along that requires the reader to truly reach down into the depths of their very soul to think and answer questions about their own personal beliefs and thoughts. The Second Virgin Birth is such a book. It explores new ideas and concepts that could affect us all, and would affect us all, if events in the book ever come to pass. This book is a must read, a must discuss, and a must argue over. Prepare yourself to lose old friends and gain new ones.

From the Author
As the author of the book "The Second Virgin Birth," I thought you might be interested in why I wrote the book in the first place. I truly believe that each one of us has inside our very souls, something that we need to accomplish before we pass from this world to the next. Mine was to write a book. One that was not just entertaining but inspired thought among its readers. One that could cause heated debates among friends about its not so simple and clear-cut meanings. I feel that I have accomplished my goal with a book written on a subject that could touch us all and with characters that are so lifelike that they could become your true friends or your worse enemies.
My idea for this book began after a personal tragedy in my life. I began to wonder what if we could truly bring a loved one back. Do we have the technology to cause them to be able to walk among us again? But I did not stop there, if we could bring back a loved one; why not bring back the most unimaginable loved one of all. After reading this book, it is my wish that you question all the possibilities and let your imagination ascend to a new elevation while contemplating our future. To question is the first step in understanding.

In 1997, I was asked to write my first online book review. It was for The Genesis Code, by John Case. They were pleased with the review, and I guess it went somewhere online, or in print, but I never saw where. It dealt with harvesting DNA from Holy Relics to bring back some of the holiest people through cloning. The Catholic Church is not amused. Any change in the established philosophy and the whole fabric of the established Church could be turned upside down. The last page of Code was one of the most amazing endings I've read.
There have been many books on the cloning issue, but The Second Virgin Birth shines through like a small star in the darkness of the night. It is wonderful.
Author Tommy Taylor's foreword states: "Everything in this book is true...
...it just hasn't happened yet."
The premise - the Catholic Church has hired scientists to find any potential sources to get DNA from, like The Shroud of Turin, and other holy relics. Instead of using this information for the good of humanity, findings are destroyed and those associated with any project, suddenly have fatal accidents.
After a battery of testing, Dr. James Burk, discovers exact matches from DNA taken from the Shroud of Turin, and a Crown of Thorns, and other objects, Burk is convinced the DNA matches come from Jesus of Nazareth. Seeing a dangerous situation, Burk steals two samples of the DNA, and escapes. He finds Dr. Clark Sullivan a brilliant bio-engineer, and together they decide to clone Jesus.
They need a couple of things - a ton of money, and a 'vessel', a woman to carry the child.
They find a 'benefactor', Alberto Allvarez, a hugely wealthy Brazilian who sees dollar signs in his eyes when told of the return of his investment - If he bankrolls the project, he will get the lion's share of 'donations' to the New Church that will be formed.
The scientists need a 'vessel' - they want to be as traditional as possible - they want a young virgin - selected by a lottery is a girl, Mary Carter, who's connection with God had been interpreted as madness and she was institutionalized.
Now all the pieces come together. They have the technology, they have the right person, they have the DNA, and the funding.
So begins an amazing story of faith that transcends circumstances, religions, greed. As in Steven Rage's Pilate A Brutal Bible Tale, the soul of the message transcends and shines through.
Taylor's writing is succinct, and eloquent. Mary's guardians, angels and archangels with tattoos that say 'Bad to the Bone' are there to protect and ensure no evil will come to Mary and the Child. The quiet dignity and power Mary has, confirms Her place and the reason why She is chosen.
She is more than an instrument to give the Child life. She is worthy to be the mother of the Son of God.
Stunning story, excellent take on cloning, and great writing.
An excellent read!

The Second Virgin Birth is a story of ‘what ifs’. What if we could find and process the actual DNA of Jesus? What if that DNA sample was viable? What if we could create a clone of the Son of God? Those what ifs should be basis for extended thought. But let’s elaborate a bit. What if the DNA sample could be placed in a viable human egg? What if that egg were than impregnated into a virgin who gave birth to the child? How would that effect the major religions of the word?

What would the heads of those major religions, led my the none other than the head of the Catholic Church, do? Would they accept this second Jesus as their Lord and Savior? Or would they see him as threat to their positions and as a siphon to the tithes they collect from their supporters?
When two highly respected scientists, working directly for the Pope, discover the DNA of Christ on some relics of the Holy Cross, they come up with the idea to clone the Son of God. The world is ready for this, they reason. But when the Pope uncovers their plan, he puts out a hit on these two. They seek sanctuary and aid from the richest man in the world – Alfredo Allvarez, a Brazilian mogul. Now the only thing they need is a host mother – a virgin.

Mary Carter is a six year old girl when her parents are killed in an accident. She and her brother are separated by the authorities. Her brother is adopted and moves to California. But Mary is deemed insane – she seems to be in a walking coma and only speaks about how she has been told by God that she will be the mother of His Son. For the next several years Mary reads the sacred teachings of all of the world’s religions so that she may impart her wisdom to her Son. When the two scientists and their benefactor conduct a worldwide lottery to find the next Mother of God, Mary’s brother enters her into the contest via an on-line entry. And in front of a worldwide television audience, Mary’s name is chosen.

What follows is a cloak and dagger, suspense thriller of the first order. As the major religions of the world see their followers slipping away, they up their game. But Mary has been given an Army of God to protect her and her Son. Will they survive? And how does their simple existence change those they meet?

All of these questions are answered by book’s end. But that only leaves the reader with the final question: could the Second Coming of Christ be in a quiet manner and not with the long-heralded pomp and glory that is predicted by almost every major religion? You’ll come away thinking deeply.

As several other reviewers have mentioned, there are some minor grammatical errors. Not enough to spoil the flow of this page-turning story. My research has shown that author Tommy Taylor has not published any other works but I am hoping that he will consider giving us a sequel to The Second Virgin Birth.

When I got this book it was because it was free and I liked the title. I have never heard of the author but the book is well written and leaves you waiting for book 2, because there has to be a book 2. Some of the issues made me very uncomfortable. This is because they are plausible and because of the current speed that science is moving forward without thought. I dare anyone to read this book and not think of what if?
