A childhood of terrific abuse--physical, psychological, emotional, religious; and a lifetime of near-fatal/should have been fatal "accidents": is it coincidence or divine miracle? Is Joshua just "lucky" or is he indestructible?


A roiling exposure of religious mania and peeling off layers of psychopathological child abuse spirals into an explosive heartstopping conclusion.

Thankyou to NetGalley, the publishers and the author, Mark Tullius, for the opportunity to read a digital copy of Ain't No Messiah in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
I am sorry to say, I could not finish this book ( which is a rarity for me ).
Not a book for me.

I really tried to like this, but there are too many instances of childhood abuse. I am about halfway through, and I just can't go on. I would like a clue if there is going to be something good, but all clues seem to be suggesting that the messiah will be killed after surviving many events that should or would have killed others. I may be wrong, but I just can't go on without hope of redemption.
