I was really intrigued by the premise of traveling back in time to the Biblical time of the new testament. The book did draw me in at the beginning, but at the halfway point I started to kind of loose interest. I think that I was hoping for a bit more. I didn't like how there wasn't much resolution to the questions posed in the book about christianity. I personally don't like how much of an emphasis many people put on Paul as the main character of Christianity, and the thought that if he died, C...

Unexpected find, this book. Once I started reading, I read some reviews defining it as religious SciFi... Didn't know about that category and don't know if I would go for it as such. But while yhe book falls in SciFi category by its definition, I'd classify it more as an historical novel. We are talking real sites and real people here. Religious component for the characters is very important but for me, more than anything, is educational. As a practical Catholic I still got surprised with detail...

I finished this book last night in 18 days. I am loving this series. The first of the trilogy of The City of God is a relearning of my faith, questioning what it is that I truly believe in.Then it questions the issue of time travel and makes it happen. It involves so much that i hardly know where to begin with this review.What the author says About the Book :- Transgression is a time-travel suspense novel that mixes science, history, religion, romance, and suspense. It’s about learning to stand ...

Not being a fan of science fiction fantasy, this novel threw me. My assumption upon discovering quickly it was going to involve some wormhole travel was that it was going to be just nonsense. Shocker to me... it was highly engaging and within no time I was hooked. And... having completed it, I am already delving into the second in the series. It would be a shame to have missed this one, based on my genre prejudice. This author combined the magic of time travel fantasy with the reality of the beg...

I absolutely love this book. Its is a story of Time Travel, Suspense,and Drama.I have never read any books that dove into the world of Jewish people. I also know very little of the Jewish Culture other than what I know from the Bible. With that said, I must say it is one of the reasons I had to keep reading. This is a wonderful story of Jew and Christian beliefs as they intertwine in the lives of people both here in the present and also in the past. This Author also includes detailed explanation...

Read all my reviews on http://urlphantomhive.booklikes.com I downloaded this as an Amazon freebie because I like time travel. I didn't really know what else the book was going to be about to be honest. I'd recommend you not to read the full blurb since it's one of those that tell so much about the story already.American archaeologist Rivka (who happens to know a lot of dead languages by the way) learns about Ari and his time travel device and gets trapped in the Jerusalem of 2000 years ago.At f...

Time for another Time Travel novel After finding Transgression: A Time-Travel Suspense Novel (and its two sequels) on Amazon for next to no cost, I downloaded all three. I hadn’t noticed that these books were classed as “Religious Sci-Fi” and I was warned off this genre by another Goodreads member. Are they really that bad? Will I have religion rammed down my throat? Will the Seventh Day Adventists find out I downloaded the books and come a knocking at my door? Will a plague of locusts devour m...

I haven't read a book that I've thoroughly enjoyed as much as this one. The idea of going back in time to kill Paul was interesting enough for me to pick up the book, but it was the great writing and the real characters that kept me hooked. It's really hard no to love the characters (at least for me). I thought it had a good combination of science fiction, adventure, drama, love, and even humor (at times). It was pretty difficult to put this book down. I usually get sleepy while reading books (t...

I've yet to read a book by Randy that I don't like and this is no exception. In Transgression, a physicist goes back in time to murder the apostle Paul. An archaeologist follows to stop him and another physicist follows out of love for the archaeologist. The book weaves elements of physics into a historical suspense set in Israel, both now and two-thousand years before now. Transgression contains no cliched predictability, you have to keep reading until the very last page--and therein lies its o...

A physicist creates a wormhole into first century Israel and embarks on a quest to kill the apostle Paul in an attempt to prevent the rise of Christianity. A messianic Jew Rivkah) tries to stop him, accompanied by the physicist's partner (Ari). This is a thrilling premise, and one I was eager to pick up.I love time travel stories, and there are not a lot of them in "Christian Fiction" so Trangression grabbed my attention straight away. I was not let down. This was an exciting story with a lot of...
