'An absorbing account of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, one of the most influential figures in human history, as told by his mother Mary. This book sweeps aside many of the conventional notions of Jesus' life to depict him as a truly human being whose search for his inner nature leads him to achieve an unexpected oneness with God. Finding himself completely transformed by this experience, Jesus embarks upon a mission to save mankind which is still exerting an influence today. Offering mystical rather than magical interpretations of the seminal events of the New Testament story - Jesus' conception, his spiritual awakening and his death on the cross, this compelling story provides new insights to challenge many conventional 'Christian' beliefs.'
