À propos de ce contenu audio
"Metta Valley Gospel can and should be read by everyone—especially by those who shy away from religion..."—The Historical Novel Society
If you're still drawn to the Jesus story, but no longer trust the version you were given, this story is for you.
Raised in a world of rules and shame, Jesus has always questioned what others accept. He's sharp, restless, and tired of being told who he's allowed to be. When a confrontation with the rabbi who trained him forces him into exile, Jesus leaves home angry and unmoored, searching for meaning beyond the tradition he was taught.
His journey carries him east, into unfamiliar lands and a remote Buddhist monastery tucked away in the mountains. There, he encounters wisdom free from control or coercion—a Way that begins to loosen the grip of fear and shame and awaken him to a new way of being.
Metta Valley Gospel is a work of literary, philosophical, and historical fiction about Jesus, perfect for fans of The Book of Longings, The Alchemist, Lamb, and other character-driven, historical and spiritual fiction.
If you're looking for an engaging, imaginative companion as you deconstruct or reconstruct your spirituality, this story was written for you.
