The Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth and the Missing Years

I only received this book 2 days ago but have devoured it cover-to-cover! This is a wonderful and timely work that could have been written EXACTLY FOR these troubled times. This is not the usual portrayal of Jesus we have all heard from the pulpit. This book is ENTIRELY believable and the messages it contains ironically seem to address our present worldwide fears of terrorism and warfare. This is exactly the kind of epic material that would make a great movie like Spartacus or Lawrence of Arabia. If you're interested in Spiritual matters but don't want the dogma associated with religion, this is the book to get. Loved it!

This book is an incredible revelation and completly relevant to today's troubled world . I have always wanted to believe in a REAL person behind the religious Icon of Christianity. Now I can! I found this book incredibly moving and enlightening. I simply hope that someone has the courage you make this into a movie. This is absolutely NOT the doe-eyed figure of Jesus of Nazareth that I have seen portrayed before. This is a believable and passionate man around who I CAN believe a 2000 year old faith could be founded. Thank you so much Richard Patton for bringing me closer to the Light.

I have never previously believed in the human figure of Jesus as portrayed by the New Testament. After reading this wonderful novel I truly believe ALL human beings can raise their consciousness to the level of the Christ Consciousness. This book has impacted my life life no other. Spirit is now something I trust is with me on a daily basis. Thank you Richard Patton for crafting this empowering work! For those that have not come across it yet, this is really a NewAge book in biblical clothing - awesome!

It's not often that a book comes along and radically changes your outlook on life. "THE Autobiography" does just that. It is certainly not a religious text by any means. The word 'spiritual' is too often used, but in this novel we are challenged to view the world through the eyes of a great spiritual being that believes his life's mission has been a failure. Besides being one of the most riveting reads I have had in many years, it is probably the most challenging I have ever read. Here we don't see the historical Jesus we have all come to know and accept. Patton presents us with a comprehensive and contemporary figure that undergoes extensive and dangerous training - a training that would test even today's Indiana Jones. Rarely does an author succeed in bringing to life historical figures in a way that is convincing and relevant to today's readership. This novel succeeds on many levels. Firstly, it is intensely readable whatever your belief system; Secondly, it answers many of the questions that have been unanswered for almost two millennia. Thirdly, it calls into question our beliefs of everyday spirituality as opposed to Religious Doctrine. If, as Patton claims, this novel is true, then I think we will all be able to face the future will eager optimism. If only for that, I'd highly recommend this book.

If you only buy one book a year, you're in luck - this is the book. I have just finished it and can't recommend it highly enough. Where "Celestine Prophecies" set the standard for popular spirituality, this novel picks up the ball and scores THE touchdown! Personally I don't subscribe to Reincarnation, but Patton writes with such convincing atmosphere and detail that I may have to review my beliefs. There are few books in my life that I have read cover to cover in one sitting, "THE Autobiography" has just become one of them! Like Castenada's Don Juan, I believe Patton's Jesus will live beyond the printed page.
