Jesus English 2008

Very little is known about Jesus in his formative years. In the Gospel stories we witness the birth of Jesus and then see him as a young boy of twelve intensely questioning the Rabbis in the Second Temple in Jerusalem. He does not reappear until age thirty when he emerges as the potent and stirring rebel baptizedby John at the River Jordan. What happened to Jesus in those lost years? How did Jesus the boy become Christ the Saviour? These are the questions that motivate bestselling writer Deepak Chopra to attempt a fresh re-imagining of a young man's transformational journey from carpenter's son to revolutionaryleader to spiritual saviour. From his unceremonious birth in Bethlehem to the ultimate betrayal by his friend Judas in Jerusalem Chopra captures the life of one of the world's most written about men as never before. Deepak Chopra is the founder of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing. He has been a bestselling author for decades and his writings havesold millions of copies.
