All I can say is that book is truly inspired (if not Divinely). It is a beautifully and realistic tale of Jesus' journey and initiation through the mystery schools of the Middle and Far East. Dolores' portrayal of Jesus is human, compassionate and authentic. She did a great job of describing the process through which he may have been prepared to transmit the world's truths. I love that Jesus is educated by life's experience, humble, "average" people, as well as the great teachers of his age. She shows him as he grows in wisdom, knowledge, underatanding and COURAGE!!! WONDEROUS!!!!!
I, The Christ

I, The Christ, is Dolores Pevehouse's first book, and what a treasure it is. She says that the novel came to her in a "burst of inspiration." The book is presented as a journal written by "Yeshua the Nazarene." He is a student at the School for Initiates and is required to write an account of his life before he can graduate. He begins when he was twelve years old and traveled to Jerusalem with his parents, Yosef and Miryam, for his bar mitzvah. He then records the details of meeting Rabbi Hillel, the first of his many teachers. He spends the next fourteen years traveling and studying with great teachers from Egypt, Palestine, Persia, India, and Tibet. Along with his travels, Yeshua chronicles his inner journeys, and his unswerving devotion to God. Finally, when he's twenty-nine years old, he's ready to graduate. Not only has he completed his journal, he's accomplished the one task the other Initiates are afraid to even try--he's raised himself from the dead. The priests honor him with an elaborate ceremony in which he is Christed. Moments later, they all turn against him and he flees for his life. The reason? When asked to declare his life's work, Yeshua replies, "my chosen mission is to make known to all men all mysteries now separating them from God." He wanted people to have a direct relationship with God, and not have to rely on intermediaries. Yeshua is, of course, the man we know as Jesus Christ. "Pevehouse has written a powerful, radically new story of the 'lost years' of Jesus. . .[giving] us a rich portrait of the inner life of Western culture's pivotal figure." Readers will find I, The Christ interesting and informative.
Astonishing and wondrous
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is a work of complete love. Delores Pevehouse has captured the person and personality of Yeshua (Jesus) in an unparalleled masterwork. This book is not for Bible literalists, but is for those interested in the totality of who Jesus was and is today. "I, the Christ" chronicles his "lost" years ('tho it's difficult to consider anything about him as being "lost") from age 12 to age 30, describing the world and her people, as he saw and learned from everything and everyone who crossed his path. It is written from the first person, which is breathtaking for the reader and incredibly courageous for the writer. However, it becomes very clear early on that it is He who is the writer; Ms. Pevehouse the channel who prepared herself for His story to come through. Read this and be changed forever.
