Zachary Helton: Metta Valley Gospel, Book 1, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A story for those grieving the faith that once defined them.

If you've ever felt wounded by the religion you inherited-or unsure how to rebuild a spiritual life after everything fell apart-this novel offers both a compelling story and a path toward something freer.

Raised in a world of rules and shame, Jesus has always questioned what others accept. But when his defiance leads to a heated clash with the rabbi who trained him, he's forced to leave his home behind. Angry and unmoored, he wanders the ancient world in search of a new beginning-stumbling instead into a journey that will overturn everything he was taught to believe.

His path leads him east, through Kashi and into a remote Buddhist monastery tucked in the mountains. There, he encounters a way of life rooted in compassion, curiosity, and inner freedom. As he faces the voice of shame inside him, he begins to unlearn the stories that once held him captive... and to imagine a different kind of faith altogether.

Metta Valley Gospel is literary spiritual fiction , philosophical fiction , and historical fiction about Jesus-a spacious, imaginative retelling for anyone healing from fundamentalism or reconstructing their spirituality.

Perfect for fans of The Book of Longings , The Alchemist, and other imaginative historical fiction.

If you're ready for the Jesus story they never taught in Sunday School, this is a good place to start.
