Book Description
This engagingly written and stunning visual celebration brings readers closer to our savior and explores what's fact, and what's mostly fiction about Jesus Christ. The story of Jesus' birth is one of ancient prophecies, glorious angels, simple shepherds, mysterious kings, a humble and righteous young couple, and a baby who would come to be known as the Savior, the Son of God, the Prince of Peace. Drawing from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, the reader is swept into the world of Roman occupied Galilee two thousand years ago, and discovers why Mary and Joseph had to journey to Bethlehem, even while expecting a baby. Commonly held myths about the Nativity are dispelled, and fascinating insights into Mary, everyday life in Jesus’ time, and angels are woven throughout. This book draws readers into a time, a place, and a life that would forever change the world.

Book Description
We live in the age of religious pluralism where all religions are considered the same and different paths lead to the same spiritual destination. It is important for Christians to learn how to affirm Jesus Christ as the only way to God—while also paying due respect to people of other faiths and worldviews. In The Unknown God: A Journey with Jesus from East to West, Mathew P. John explores the redemptive revelations lurking in the darkness outside the boundaries of Christian tradition. In this spiritual journey through six major world religions, readers encounter a variety of symbols that point to the Jesus of the Bible. From Hindu avatars and Buddhist bodhisattvas, to Sikh gurus and Muslim prophets, and the Jewish messiah, consider how different religions attempt to answer the deep longing for a savior ingrained in the collective conscience of humanity.

Book Description
In December 1945, two Egyptian fellahin, digging for natural fertilizer in the Nile River valley unearthed a sealed storage jar. The jar proved to hold treasure of an unexpected sort: a collection of some fifty-two ancient manuscripts, most of which reflect the teachings of a mystical religious movement we call Gnosticism (from the Greek word gnosis, "knowledge"). The texts are also, with few exceptions, Christian documents, and thus they provide us with valuable new information about the character of the early church, and about the Gnostic Christians within the church. In this volume, Marvin W. Meyer has produced a new English translation for general readers of four of the most important and revealing of these early Christian texts -- the Secret Book of James, the Gospel of Thomas, the Book of Thomas, and the Secret Book of John.

"There are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written." (Gospel of Saint John, final verse) You can discover much of those "many other things which Jesus did" in this unique compilation of ancient records and mystical revelations, which includes historical records of the lives of Jesus Christ and his Mother Mary that have been accepted and used by the Church since apostolic times. This treasury of little-known stories of Jesus' infancy, his sojourn in the Orient as recorded in the famous Ladakh Manuscript, and his passion, crucifixion, and resurrection, will broaden the reader's understanding of what Christianity really was in its original form: a far more vibrant and conscious movement than what we see today in its place. But this book is more than just a collection of ancient texts. Abbot George Burke's illuminating and scholarly commentary adds a further dimension and relevance, and will guide you to a deeper understanding of how, as he puts it, "to manifest the inner Christ that abides within us all." The Unknown Lives of Jesus and Mary includes the text and commentary on these early writings: The Protoevangelium Of Saint James > The Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus and Mary The Gospel of the Nativity of Mary The History of Anna, The Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary The Gospel of Thomas The Infancy of the Savior The Ladakh Manuscript, a manuscript found in a Buddhist monastery in Tibet telling of Jesus' "Lost Years" and travels in India and Tibet The Gospel Of Nicodemus The Death of Pilate, Who Condemned Jesus The Narrative of Joseph The Book of John Concerning the Falling Asleep of Mary Miscellaneous Sources "An intelligent, respectful, and incredible perspective into an esoteric Christianity that is seldom seen. ... The quality of the piece was a pleasant surprise." -River Ezell

Book Description
My fictional biography of Jesus is designed to introduce readers to the forgotten world of Jewish Messianic, Kabbalistic, prophetic, wisdom, and Merkabah mysticism that was known to the Jewish disciples of Yeshua, but completely lost to emerging gentile Christianity. It provides a simple, non-academic way for readers to understand what only profound academic study can reveal, and illuminates the authentic historical teachings and probable spiritual practices of the Master Yeshua

Book Description
"“Reads like a detective thriller! It picks you up and never lets go of you.” —Jess Stearn, bestselling author of Edgar Cayce, The Sleeping Prophet Ancient texts reveal that Jesus spent 17 years in the Orient. They say that from age 13 to age 29, Jesus traveled to India, Nepal, Ladakh and Tibet as both student and teacher. For the first time, Elizabeth Clare Prophet brings together the testimony of four eyewitnesses—and three variant translations—of these remarkable documents. She tells the intriguing story of how Russian journalist Nicolas Notovitch discovered the manuscripts in 1887 in a monastery in Ladakh. Critics “proved” they did not exist—then three distinguished scholars and educators rediscovered them in the twentieth century. Now you can read for yourself what Jesus said and did prior to his Palestinian mission. It’s one of the most revolutionary messages of our time."

Book Description
Through the centuries, thousands of books, stories, novels, television programs, and films about Jesus Christ have been written and produced. Hundreds of thousands of churches have been erected in His name. Millions have claimed to be His ministers. Billions have professed Him as "Lord and Savior." Today, Jesus is renowned the world over, commonly known in one way or another in every culture of the world, whether one professes to be Christian, atheist, or of any other religion. Many have positive comments about Him, regardless of their beliefs about who He was and what He taught. His name also stirs great controversy and debate. Yet, despite worldwide recognition-despite billions professing to be His followers-despite all the knowledge circulating about Him-Jesus Christ remains unknown-even to Christianity! Unlike anything ever produced, "The True Jesus Christ - Unknown to Christianity "accurately examines the life, ministry, and teachings of the most influential Person in the history of the world. Excluding popular tradition, theory, and opinion-the usual approach to His life-it takes you on an extraordinary and gripping journey through the corridors of the life and times of Jesus Christ, and correctly answers in plain language the greatest questions about Him-straight from the Bible and history. You will learn what only a tiny few have understood.
