Editorial Review: Product Description: The New York Times bestselling author of Buddha captures the extraordinary life of Jesus in this surprising, soul-stirring, and page-turning novel. Uncovering the transformational "lost years" that are not recounted in the New Testament, Deepak Chopra has imagined Jesus's path to enlightenment moving from obscurity to revolutionary, from doubt to miracles, and then beyond as the role of the long-awaited Messiah. As a teenager, Jesus has premonitions of his destiny, and by the end, as he arrives to be baptized in the River Jordan, he has accepted his fate, which combines extremes of light and darkness. With his characteristic ability for imparting profound spiritual insights through the power of storytelling, Deepak Chopra's Jesus portrays the life of Christ as never before, ultimately leading us closer to understanding the nature of God and the soul. As the author shares, "I don't want the Jesus in this book to be worshiped, much less to push him forward as definitive. The events of the tale are pure fiction. But at a deeper level, the Jesus in this book feels real because we've gotten a glimpse into his mind. One flash of insight answers many prayers." Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Quick and Easy OrderingI received this book easily and quickly and it was here in time to give to my sweetie on Christmas! I would order from this company again. Rating:  - Not so good if you are a Fan of Deepak or a Follower of JesusWhen I read the Fictional book about Buddha's life that Deepak wrote it was amazing!! Deepak also had a great explanation at the end of that book that really ties the whole thing together. Do I think that Buddha is better than Jesus? No, not at all, I read this Book (listened) and I didn't get the same feeling from this book that I got from the Book that Deepak wrote about Buddha and his life. I was waiting for the great wisdom that Deepak possesses to come out and wanted to hear the great insightful ...

If you feel there's something wrong or misleading about most Christian teachings and sects, you're right, and Deepak Chopra drives the point home. Moving, compelling, touching, inspiring story which allows you to relate to Jesus in a way his teachings show that he wanted you to. Rating: - SuperbThe editorial review labels this book a "novel". Whatever label is laid on it, this book is a masterpiece by an enlightened teacher. Dr. Chopra presents Jesus Christ, fully knowing who and what that means, and puts in perspective what has been said and written about him in the past. I suggest reading this book with "How to Know God", another masterpiece by the same author. Both are gifts to humanity. Rating: - Fiction is not Chopra's forteLet me begin by emphasizing that I find Deepak Chopra's non-fiction 'spiritual writings' to be well-constructed, readable, challenging, and meaningful in this age of materialism and passive entertainment. I have read these works and recommended them to others. However, after reading 'Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment,' I have concluded that fiction(or long parable) is not Chopra's long suit. His attempt to fantasize what the hidden adult years of Jesus' life was like before his ministry is unconvincing. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
