The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ - The Account of his "Lost" Years (Based on the Tibetan Manuscript)

Nicolas Notovitch

Sinopse

In "The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ," Nicolas Notovitch presents a controversial and thought-provoking exploration of the life of Jesus, claiming to uncover aspects of his early years that have largely been overlooked by mainstream Christianity. Written in a narrative style that blends scholarly analysis with personal testimony, Notovitch's book posits that during his supposed 'lost years,' Jesus traveled to India and Tibet, immersing himself in Eastern spiritual traditions. This text challenges conventional biblical narratives by incorporating anecdotal evidence, purported translations of ancient texts, and Notovitch's own experiences, making it a unique contribution to both religious studies and historical inquiry. Nicolas Notovitch was a Russian traveler and writer whose wanderlust and deep philosophical questioning likely fueled his pursuit of understanding the historical Jesus. His travels in the late 19th century, particularly in the regions of India and Tibet, exposed him to a myriad of spiritual beliefs and practices, which ultimately influenced his assertions about Jesus' formative years. Notovitch's own background as a seeker of truth and his encounters with local sages and monks lend an intriguing, albeit controversial, dimension to his claims. This book invites readers to reconsider traditional narratives regarding Jesus Christ and the broader implications of his potential teachings in diverse cultural contexts. Ideal for scholars of religious studies, history enthusiasts, or anyone curious about the intersections of Eastern and Western spirituality, "The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ" offers a compelling lens through which to re-examine one of history's most pivotal figures.

The Sacrifices of the Lord

Pastor Okafor Chijioke Beloved

In this book we are looking at the sacrifice of the Lord, how to offer acceptable one that God will honour in order to bring favour and blessing upon his people. It is quite pathetic that many people are carrying out many sacrifices to the Lord and some are not being honoured or accepted by God. It is desirable that all sacrifices are desirable to God. He can use it in return to bless them. 
It takes the covenant sons and daughters of God who are Born again and are matured to handle sacrifices. It is not meant for children because they don't know the value. Everybody wants the best out of life but few knows what to do in order to get there.
