5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute must reading for all Christians, April 7, 2000

By	Joanne Denison "joanne denison" (chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have read Book 2 of the Gospel of the Essenes and there are abosultely no earthly words to describe this fantastic work and how it relates to all of Christianity. It was written in the time of Jesus and there is no doubt with the unearthing of the Dead Sea Scrolls that Jesus visited the Brotherhood of the Essenes, an early Jewish sect and was heavily influenced by their deep reverence for spirituality and God. There is no doubt that this book will take anyone spitually inclined-Jew, Christian, Muslim, etc. much, much closer to God. Highly recommended. A deeper understanding of early religions and how ancient peoples may have been closer to the truth of God than anything in modern religions.

5.0 out of 5 stars if you knowith these things you knowith enough, July 14, 2001

By	guujaaw (Skidegate: Haida Nation) - See all my reviews

This book gives us back the wisdom that was taken from us in the interests of priestcraft. The logic and science of the Essenes should be put in the hands of every preacher, rabbi, politician, teacher, and human being who has been affected by western civilization and organized religion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A WORK OF POETIC ART:, August 19, 2003

By A Customer

This book was astounding; beautifully poetic in its simplicity. If we all followed the guidelines in this book, there would be little strife. Truly lyrical....provoking.
