What an amazing journey! Master regression therapist Julia Ingram opens the door to a hidden world where these historical women can finally speak for themselves.

Ingram's journey led her to 15 women who, when regressed, provided first-person accounts of their lives in the company of Jeshua (Jesus). ("Jeshua," which is ancient Aramaic, is the name he actually answered to.) They offer eyewitness reports of Jeshua and the women who were an integral part of his mission---most prominently, his mother and teacher Mary and his wife Mary Magdalene. Even small details about their everyday activities and the relationships among them are startling enough to freshen our view of that world, and show how distorted later accounts have become.

Jeshua was an inspired visionary. Ingram's work suggests that the women close to him shared that vision with greater authenticity than the men who succeeded him as the founders of the early Christian church. The female role in that vision was ignored, or even concealed. As one contemporary woman exclaimed after re-experiencing parts of her life as Jeshua's younger sister Ruth, "The Bible leaves out half the story"---the women's half. Ingram performs spiritual archeaology, bringing to light this buried treasure and showing us its urgent relevance in rebalancing the chaotic energies of today's world.

The women of the lost sisterhood are speaking out. Spiritual seekers who want to truly understand the mission of Jeshua, Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, sister Ruth, and the others will miss vital pieces of the historical puzzle if they overlook the personal accounts in Ingram's work. Read this book!!

Whether or not you choose to believe the incidents in this book, if you read with a curious and open mind it will propel you into a new reality. It is the "herstory" that male authors did not allow into print for 2000 years. Considering the personal interpretation of history that we have been subjected to, this book offers a very plausable alternative and one which can change our spiritual visions for years to come. Is it history? Maybe not. Is it truth? Very likely!

In this series of dialogues with women visionaries who see themselves as reincarnations of biblical heroines, Ms. Ingram reveals the possibility that the Divine Feminine is emerging in the 21st century through the personalities of spiritual devotees today.

Following her subjects through their hypnotic investigation of early Christianity, the author makes clear her point that there is currently a call for the Sisterhood to be found.

Written with candor and a lack of personal judgment, this work opens the door of the mind and allows the reader to walk in the shoes of those who have gone before us. Common threads of recollection seem to give credence to these stories and the collective unconscious, or Akashic Records, from which they are drawn.

Having already read The Messengers followed by In God's Truth (by Nick Bunick, who The Messengers was about), I could not wait to get my hands on this one. It was an amazing story and I was touched in so many ways...sometimes to tears.

I am reading it now for the second time and it feels as though it is the first. Going to be a very powerful book, for a very long time I am sure.

I loved this book! I have read The Messengers and this book is like reading the sequel. I have loaned it to friends who have since bought their own copy because it is a book you'll want to read again.

I recommend this book to ALL of my friends, spiritual or not. Since I found out about Julia Ingram's awesome work with hypno-regression, I have been hooked on this method of discovering history with these incredible tools of healing. She is an extremely ethical and professional hypno-therapist who has been awakened to something of great importance in this day and age. I have gained more insight into the life of Jesus in a few hours than through studying scriptures for years, and it feels so much more truthful. Just like being there, this fascinating view of Jeshua's life from the perspective of his family, friends, students, and teachers (especially when he was 3 years old) of the Essene Community was spell-binding. Makes a great gift!

Julia Ingram really caught the essence of "sisterhood" in this wonderful book. It's inspiring and easy to read. All her works are inspiring and bring healing and hope to the soul. The seller did an excellent job with the description of their product on amazon.com and it was delivered on time.
