Product Description

Two thousand years after the fact, new light is shed on Christ's hidden life as an initiate in the mystical society of the Essene Brotherhood. In the first English-language edition of the European bestseller, Anne and Daniel Meurois-Givaudan describe the way of life in the Essene communities of first-century Palestine. Through direct revelation, the authors received--over a two-year period--detailed knowledge of the Essene teachings and their role in preparing Christ for his mission. At once unpretentious and astonishing, this beautifully written and evocative story lucidly recreates the life and personality of Christ and his role in the spiritual development of humankind. Since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, questions continue to arise as to the identity of the Essenes and what role they might have played in the life of Jesus. This account complements the gospels, clarifying and enlarging upon mysterious parts of the record--including Christ's mystical and metaphysical teachings of Essene techniques for spiritual advancement. The authors retelling of the Passion of Christ and its aftermath is an extraordinary account that may forever reshape our understanding of these biblical events.

Engaging and very believable
THIS BOOKS HELPS TO FILL IN GAPS LEFT IN ME BY MY FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIAN UP-BRINGING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR THOSE CHRISTIANS WHO FEEL THAT THE SIMPLE TRUTH OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS INTENTIONS FOR US HAVE BEEN TAINTED BY 2000 YEARS OF FEARFUL CHURCH LEADERS. THE JESUS DESCRIBED AND WITNESSED BY THE AUTHORS MEUROIS-GIVAUDAN, IS STILL PERSONAL AND ALIVE.

Unveiling Jesus history
The Meurois-Givaudan couple once again expose what is only known to the few. A powerful book which restores a broken link. A must read book for mystics, philosophers and those with an open mind.

A More Personal Glimpse of Jesus
Without a doubt this book gave me a point of connection for the possibility for who Jesus, the man , actually was. It is such a beautiful, moving encounter of this gentle being who walked and worked among the Essenes. I was left having a much better sense of who this icon known as Jesus really was when he inhabited a body on this planet. I am very well read in the new age/spiritual literature ( having a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psych.) and this book delivered fresh meaningful information. I loved it !
