The Lost Years of Jesus: Documentary Evidence of Jesus' 17-Year Journey to the East

Rating:
Summary: Satisfies a years-long hunger for more about the man Jesus.
Review: "Lost Years" appeals to the scholar, one-time skeptic, and the believer that I am. Prophet skillfully outlines the path followed by the student/avatar Jesus on his way to attaining the fullness of his Christhood. Comprehensive and entertaining to boot. Reads like a mystery novel.

Summary: Well the Truth is.....
Review: ....I admire Elizabeth Clare Prophet, but I must admit that she is lead to researching the false Gospel of Jesus. So when you find such things like this saying" Missing Gospel or Missing Bible of Jesus", they are false and IS coming outside of the Christian Church. ( Such as the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, etc relating to Gnostic) The Gnostic Gospel was created by Pagans somewhere in the time of the Apostles after Jesus accended to Heaven with His Father. The Gnostic Gospel is an evil immitation of the Apostles claiming God to be evil when he IS NOT. If you go back to the History of the Christian Church - You will understand why this is a false Gospel and were out to destroy the Church. -So I don't recommend this book, and neither of them. If you want to know the TRUTH, read the BIBLE. That's all I have to say -

Summary: Excellent Reading Material!
Review: Elizabeth Prophet has done an excellent job researching the years of Jesus' life that are missing from the bible. Most fundamentalist christians would deny that he travelled to the east. . but he did. .The bible leaves out more than 15 years of his life. .why. . .because they left it out on purpose. This book does an outstanding job of filling in those missing years.
Jesus studied with Hindu and Buddhist masters in the far east!

Love is the key.

Summary: Amazing account
Review: Fascinating reading. Mrs. Prophet has been very thorough and has done an excellent job of weaving the facts and narrative together in a book that is hard to put down. A very eye-opening look at the life of Jesus during the years that are missing from the Bible. And I love the color Roerich prints in the middle!

Summary: Looking for a refund
Review: Hey, Jesus acquired all his spiritual insight in the East AND, you've just entered the Twilight Zone. If E.C.P. had a little deeper understanding of the Old Testament and how it predicts and plans for the coming of Messiah (in more ways than I can count), she would (I hope) never attempt to foist this stuff on rational readers. Sigh...

Summary: Great reading and food for thought.
Review: I enjoyed "The Lost years of Jesus" as a non-Christian - at the intellectual level. Unfortunately Elizabeth Prophet is up against the far morer convincing "The Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth and the Missing Years" by Richard G. Patton. Patton's novel works at deeper levels than the intellect and is ultimately more satisfying. Both books carry extraordinary parallels of original information but appear to be aimed at different markets. Patton's more revelatory novel is aimed at us viewing Jesus as the HUMAN being discovering his Divinity through extensive training. Prophet's book assumes a recognised Divinity from birth. Personally I like to be taken by an author along a path of discovery, so preferred Patton's "The Autobiography....". If you want to see the divine being against a background of Religion, Prophet's book is the book for you. I very much enjoyed "The Lost years of Jesus" but ultimately prefer an autobiography.

Summary: Fills in lots of gaps
Review: I think this is a most fascinating book to read. I often wondered in Bible class what Jesus might have been doing and why it was not recorded in the Bible (at least, what we know of the Bible today). For me, one thing that makes it more believable is the varied and different sources the author relies on for her information. It's always a good sign when there are others to confirm what you've believed all along. Also, if you enjoy it as i did, the next "have-to-get" book is "The Lost Teachings of Jesus", woah!! it keeps getting better!

Summary: Excellent book.....IF.....
Review: If you have an open mind and wish to know about the missing years of Jesus, this is the book for you. There is so much information given that any Christian religion will deny to the death. They will even go as far as calling it evil. It is sad that so many will condemn the information in the book and the author for presenting it. It is time the world religions open their eyes to the truth. Jesus wasn't as limited as the Christian religions want us to believe!!!

Summary: This book IS thrilling.
Review: The mere idea of this story tantalizes my imagination. But to read it, to learn more of the story of Christ, which all Christians must hunger for, to hear his teachings spoken so clearly and so straightforwardly, is so stirring to one's soul, such a joy, I can't describe it. The very possibility that this story is true brings excrutiating joy. For if it is true, it not only brings completeness to the strange thin story of Christ's life that we find in the New Testament; it shows Christ's saving love as a unifier of all the major religions of the world, and affirms the purpose, direction, and soul of every bit of humanity everywhere on earth. No small accomplishment for one small book!
