Winner of the Reader's Favorite 2014 International Book Award for Comedy The year is 1999 and the millennium is fast approaching. Baseball fan and thirty-two-year-old confirmed bachelor and architect, Seth Miller, is content with his life, as long as the Yankees win and his mother stays away from his Greenwich Village apartment. Seth's life, though, is turned upside down when he is informed by his overbearing and overprotective mother that he is God's youngest son and by default the second coming of Christ. Initially convinced that his parents are crazy, his thoughts of their committal to a suitable care facility are superseded when he receives an unsolicited telephone call from God himself. With Armageddon fast approaching, and due to some poor editing and proofreading of the Bible, Seth must assume the role of Christ and fight God's corner in the 'Final Conflict' between good and evil. Despite his initial reluctance and attempts to shirk his new responsibilities, God is insistent, and Seth is cajoled into undertaking the role of Messiah. With his best friend and chief follower Bob Nancy, Seth embarks on a calamitous sequence of miracle doing and disciple gathering. All of which fail to inspire the legions of followers expected by God, but leads to a bout of food poisoning for a troop of visiting boy scouts and a suspected attempt on the life of the Mayor. God, a somewhat nonchalant character, is far more preoccupied with the lack of IT and administrative support he is receiving in heaven, than actual events on Earth; and is already planning to move on to other planets that he and Lucifer are in the process of developing for 'future projects'. Enter Maggie De Lynne, as Seth's second disciple and love interest, who adds her perspective to Seth's predicament; which is only compounded when a just as unsuitable anti-Christ, suffering from IBS and with a penchant for dressing up as cartoon characters, visits his apartment. Throw a 'gangsta' rapping Guardian Angel and Walter, the talking cat - who used to be quiet as a mouse - into the mix, and the scene is set for a hilarious tale of one man's reluctance to save the world and join the family business.

This is my second book by the author and this guy can write. This book isn't about Jesus, although he makes an appearance. It is about Seth, God's second son. The book is laugh out loud funny, with a rappin guardian angel, Seth's hilarious parents and their tales, disciples like Maggie De Lynne. Get it? God and his committee should make you laugh too. Just an enjoyable little book. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.NOTE: The author sent me a free copy of the book for an unbiased review.

The "Second" Son of God?? :) By Mallory Heart Reviews This whimsical and often hilarious "memoir" of the "other Son of God"--the "second-begotten" -relates the life narrative of a thirty-two-year old male Jewish architect, very successful, living in Greenwich Village. Why is his age important? Well, remember what happened to Jesus when he turned thirty-three. Seth Miller, who considers his life actually perfect, is beyond astounded when his parents, Irma and Ely, announce that Seth is the second Son of God. What's worse is the direct revelation from the deity--presented here as forgetful, not fully in control, and often absent, that Seth must battle the Anti-Christ in Armageddon. Despite the fact that he persistently reveals himself as a little too shallow, Seth does possess a core of persistence and determination--both of which will be sorely in demand as he strives to cope with this all-new set of pressures.I reviewed a copy provided to me for the sole purpose of my review. No fees were exchanged.

Just a happy-go-lucky bachelor from Manhattan, whose life revolves around baseball and the New York Yankees, TV, drinking beer and enjoying himself? OMG - I'd say - we're screwed up!This is the prelude to the brilliant plot of The Reluctant Jesus, a really amusing, satirical comedy, and this is Seth Miller, God's number two son: the most unlikely and reluctant second Jesus!I had the chance to read the ARC version of Duncan's new novel and, once I started, I had a hard time putting it down. An extremely well written story. Love it! And the characterization of these modern God and Lucifer, grappling with the IT - and of their unsuitable offspring - is amazing!!Simply a must-read!
