Publisher's Summary

This extraordinary document represents a new form of historical research and straightens out many open questions and misinterpretations. It takes the form of direct dialogues between a modern researcher and a member of the Qumran Essene community. Alive around the time of Christ, this community has become the focus of ideas about the connection of Jesus' teachings to earlier traditions. This book gives a full description of the nature and purpose of the community and the birth and upbringing of Jesus and John the Baptist. Also, it gives Essene renderings of Key Old Testament stories concerning Moses, Ezekiel, Daniel, and others, plus startling insights into ancient history. This information is candid and for real, even about the Dead Sea Scrolls, and many Biblical images and statements are corrected and added to.

Amazing

It has been strange growing up my whole life with my own belief in what Jesus's life meant, which seemed to be at odds with what alot of churches preach, for that reason I never really got along with Christianity, but practised my own spirituality. Hearing about the Essenes and Jesus in this book so completely fit with my own beliefs that it gives me pause for thought that maybe I have been a part of their teaching in some other life. Thank you Dolores for work and for bringing the knowledge forth once again

Informative and fascinating

An eye opening view of the stories contained in the Bible. It felt like I was getting a lesson in the Essenes, history, geography and biblical studies.

Compelling

I always had a feeling that todays common biblical interpretations were a little off. And this makes so much more sense. Everyone had their own perception of things, but the truth resonates the loudest. Would have been nice if the voice actors did a little research on Hebrew pronunciations but otherwise good pace and warm voices.

Couldn't stop listening to the audible of this

Extremely captivating!!! I saw this book listed time and time again but had no desire to read/listen to it. I like Dolores Cannon and one day thought why not. Boy o Boy! I did not want it to end! I like everything about this book especially the audible version. I like the pace and how everything is explained. The person they chose to narrate the book - her voice was very pleasing to listen to and not the least bit annoying. I just dove right into each chapter. I was really sad when this book ended.
