Beloved Son A spiritual novel that blends fact and fiction set in a time when rumors and visions among Jerusalem's Jews heralded the arrival of a Messiah to free them of their ages-long oppression. Their fervent anticipation collided with Rome's merciless authority when their Messiah appeared in the flesh as Jesus Christ. Jesus's example of Divine Love is newly-explored as the Son of God walks the path of teacher, healer and prophet while guiding his disciples. This reimagined journey illustrates Christ's teachings of universal truths while exploring alternative ways for him to fulfill the prophecies. Did Jesus really die on the cross? Was there a romantic connection between Jesus and Mary Magdalene? If Jesus could read minds - how could Judas have betrayed him? If Jesus was a shape-shifter - then how could he be captured against his will? The journey of Christ fulfilling his destiny as prophesied is uniquely re-imagined in this mystical adventure."
