Product Description
Review
"In Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment, Deepak Chopra dares us to ponder paradigms imbedded deep within our very DNA and question unquestionable truths. Chopra introduces a breathtaking epistemology that is altogether fresh and divine. His powerful revelation threatens our ability to live our lives in darkness."--Cheryl Woodcock, Correspondent & Producer, Entertainment Tonight & The Insider
Product Description
Very little is known or recorded about Jesus in his formative years. In the Gospel stories, we witness Jesus' birth and then see him as a young boy of 12 questioning the Rabbis in the Temple in Jerusalem. Following this, he does not reappear until age 30, when he emerges as the potent and stirring rebel baptized by John at the River Jordan. From his unceremonious birth in Bethlehem to his ultimate betrayal in Jerusalem, "Jesus" is a riveting and soul-stirring account of the most remarkable story of all time.

Deepak Chopra has reinvigorated the story of Jesus in this book and tells it from the perspective of one who I think really understands what Jesus was actually trying to teach us all with regards to enlightenment.

This is a dramatisation of the story of Jesus that's missing from the New Testament, which tells us nothing of his life between the ages of 12 and 30. The author shows considerable skill in constructing an intriguing narrative in which we can see the origins of many events from the later life of the man who became a messiah.
It is also an insight into the enlightened Jesus who is missing from the traditional Christian view of a divine figure different from the rest of us. As with the outstanding `Buddha', the particular value for me lies in Chopra's commentary at the end of the book where he reappraises the role of Jesus and the way his teaching has been interpreted, raising some provocative questions for Christians and offering some intriguing responses.
The last few pages present a valuable reinterpretation of the value of meditation or contemplation, and how it can lead to transcendence, the practical key to spiritual progress.
Now I'm really looking forward to `Muhammad' to complete the picture.

I was unsure what this might be like, but I was entralled. I couldn't put this down and I believe adds real insight as to how Jesus grew within himself and his conciousness developed. Well worth it.
