The Mystical Life of Jesus

By: Sylvia Browne

Narrated by: Jeanie Hackett

Length: 5 hrs and 43 mins

Publisher's Summary

New discoveries in archaeology and recent best sellers and movies, such as The Da Vinci Code and The Passion of the Christ, have sparked renewed interest in the many questions that have remained unanswered about Christianity and other religions. At the heart of these controversies is Jesus. With a unique perspective only Sylvia Browne could bring, The Mystical Life of Jesus is filled with the details of Jesus' inspiring life.

Addressing his birth, childhood, travels, ministry, miracles, crucifixion, death, and resurrection, she addresses all of the major questions:

Was there a virgin birth?

Was there a Star of Bethlehem?

What did he do for the first 30 years of his life?

Was he married?

Was he divine?

Was it a miracle at Cana (and who was getting married)?

Is there a Jesus lineage?

Using her unique relationship with her spirit guide and her years of studying the controversial Gnostic texts, Sylvia answers all of these questions with a confidence and authority only someone who has visited the afterlife can have.

A Must Read!

Just loved this book! I think this in really one of Syliva's very best books! Even if the listener doesn't accept some or all of what she has written, it may be enough to make some readers want to do some research themselves. For me, the book makes a lot of sense to what I had already read in the Bible. I feel there is alot of truth in what Sylvia has written about. If anything, it can open up some interesting discussions with the reader and to help people find their own spiritual paths. Thanks Sylvia!

A wonderful new perspective on Jesus

What made the experience of listening to The Mystical Life of Jesus the most enjoyable?

Sylvia Browne provides a new and surprisingly convincing perspective on the life of Jesus and his teachings. While I was studying religion at college, there were several stories about Jesus and his life, as told by the New Testament, that did not ring true to me. Therefore, I was inclined to dismiss the claim that Jesus ever existed. Browne's account of his life, however, rings true and she provides a down to earth and much more believable account of his life. She also emphasizes the most important elements of Jesus' message, which have sadly been forgotten by many Christians today. A good and interesting listen you shouldn't miss!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely.

It's about time the truth prevails

This makes much more common & moral sense than any bible from the church along with what some priest and ministers preach

Listen with an open mind. Very thought provoking.

Backed by great research and resources, Sylvia Browne provides a great and plausible scenario. She tells you the story but gives you enough information to do your own research and insists you do just that, research it yourself.

I highly recommend.

My favorite of them all!

What did you love best about The Mystical Life of Jesus?

How many answers Sylvia has that most religious leaders can't seem to answer.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mary....she's gotten such a bad wrap for thousands of years because of jealousy and men's attitudes towards woman in that day...and it hasn't changed much until recently.

Which scene was your favorite?

Finding out what went on in the years from 12-30 in Christ's life.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The crucifiction

Any additional comments?

If you have had guilt for years from the church as I have, Sylvia brings hope, love and joy and none of the fear, guilt and hatred about God.

Thought provoking

While there were certainly parts of this book that were difficult to listen to because of my deep Southern Baptist beliefs, I can always count on Ms. Browne’s books to make me think. While I walk away not believing everything in this book, none of us know the entire true story and she gives you some food for thought. It’s educational and respectful to know others views even if we don’t believe the same.

wonderful

This book was great I have to say that this is what I was looking for. In answer's or questions that I could not understand, this book open up my eyes to what I find is the true meaning of Jesus life. and I would recommend it to anyone. I also would like to say I would love it Sylvia if you would read your own book's. Because I understand them more when I hear you read them to us. Instead of some one eles reading the book. I did not care to much for the narrater, that reads your books. Something about her voice I did not care for. I still highly recommend the book even though,I don't care for the narrater voice. Thanks so much Robbie

Great book.

Best insight of our Lord Jesus ever told in my opinion. Can listen to this everyday.

Be careful and question everything

While I think there are some really interesting questions raised about the life and true history of Jesus, I think it's very dodgy ground to take direction from anyone who channels spirits (in whatever form they manifest). If you need to use channels, then test the spirits and test them again, and make sure they are not trying to pull the wool over your eyes!

Basically, there's a lot in this story that doesn't resonate as truth.

Now, before you dismiss me as a fundamentalist, I am absolutely not -- I've dabbled with spirituality in many forms over the years and nowadays tend to take more of a "New Thought" approach to spiritual practice; understanding that there's truth in everything.

In summary, there are undoubtedly low energy sources at work in this presentation -- the historical comparisons with old mythology may be true - and it's easy to understand why old stories were integrated into the mythology of Jesus, however, there's something about this book that leaves me seriously doubting the authenticity of her sources.

As I said in my title, be careful and question everything.

Fascinating

This is a very interesting account of the life of Jesus and very different to the teachings of the church, but still very respectful of Christ's divinity and mission. A good book for the open minded.
