If you are not a church-goer and the traditional, devotional stories do
not make sense to you but you are looking for an authentic spiritual
experience or plan to travel to Jerusalem - this book is for you. Based on
a true story, Jerusalem Diary: Searching for the Tomb and House of Jesus
is an adventurous journey of self-discovery in the Holy Land. After going
through a professional and personal crises, Joanna joins two Australian
men who claim to discover new sites that could be Jesus' home in Nazareth
and his tomb in Jerusalem. As they visit different pilgrimage sites
associated with Jesus, Joanna begins to challenge conventional ideas about
the life of Jesus. Relying on the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, the Gospel of
Thomas and parts of the Urantia Book, she creates an alternative picture
of Yeshua (Jesus). She begins to see him as a young, rebellious and
inspiring teacher who can offer inner healing and peace to a modern
person. Recent Reviews: "This engaging book has everything the
passionate-thinking person desires: intensity, intrigue, controversy.
Thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking. A book for all seekers". -Mark
Manolopoulos, adjunct research associate, Monash University Centre for
Studies in Religion and Theology, and author of If Creation Is a Gift.
