What Would Make the 'Da Vinci Code' Look Like a Church Hymn?

The Sun Journal in Lewiston, Maine said in its September 3, 2006 PERSPECTIVE HEADLINE, "WAKING GOD, New novel by Maine writer co-creates a theory for everything that could ignite a religious backlash that could make 'The Da Vinci Code' look like a church hymn."

The new controversial novel is co-authored by Brian Doe and Philip Harris and was released by StarPublish in July.

Sun Journal staff writer, David Farmer says in the article, "It would be easy to categorize the story as a full-throated assault on the fundamentals of organized religion and the Catholic church in particular." He adds, "THE DA VINCI CODE doesn't hold a canonical candle to the blasphemy of WAKING GOD."

in describing the novel Farmer say, "…the book converts an evangelical, Southern preacher into a papal assassin, turns the notion of good and evil on its head, lays the Holocaust at the feet of Archangel Michael and tosses in 'The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion' for good measure."

The novel is beginning to appear in major book retail stores and may heat up just in time for the cold holiday season.
