Promised Child — Holly Sullivan McClure

From the ruins of past glory and promise, the martyrs have returned to fulfill the prophesy of the last Cathar Perfect when he cried from the flames, "When seven hundred years have passed, the leaves of the bay tree will again turn green." In expectation of the child who ushers in the dawn of the Light of Lights, they wait. ********************************************** The book isn't the next Da Vinci Code, nor is it intended to be. It goes far beyond where that book stopped. It's far more timely and topical, tapping into the growing awareness of the ancient Gnostic tradition. While there are other books out there that have reflected some of these themes, I don't believe any have done so in either the intuitively and historically accurate way that Promised Child does, with such a natural, storytelling flow, nor do any look into the future in quite the arresting way that this book does.
