The Mystical Life of Jesus is filled with the details of Jesus inspiring life.
Including his birth, childhood, travels, ministry, miracles, crucifixion, death, and resurrection, she addresses all of the major controversies:

Was he married?
Was he divine?
Was it a miracle at Cana (and who was getting married)?
Is there a Jesus lineage?

Reader Reviews
I really love Sylvia Browne, but this one will leave you fuming one page and agreeing the next. This book about Jesus - the 'real' story - throws many of the actions in the New Testament out of whack - But while I respect Ms. Browne's or Francine's Jesus, I believe Christ was truly the Son Of God, and born of a Virgin, a man, yet Divine, not Joseph's child but a blessing from God. Period. I agree with Ms. Browne that Jesus traveled seeking knowledge from different philosophies - have read books about Jesus in India and have no problem with this - Have no problem that according to this book Jesus and Mary Magdalene married and had children. He became man and had human emotions, including love. As stated in the book, Ms. Browne's words will rattle some chains. There are bits and pieces that you can agree on - To me, Jesus is Divine, and feel that the power of His Word is the message the Lord wanted us to live by. Ms. Browne's view of the Beatitudes was beautiful - showing that Jesus spoke to the masses for all to understand. No one really knows what happened 2000 years ago, and we won't know until we cross the other side to see. While many will believe this book to be totally true, don't we all have to share our opinions on the works we read? Where religion is concerned, maybe we agree to disagree, and say what we feel when we read books. The fact that we cared to read and share our opinions, good, bad, or anywhere in between is what this process is all about, isn't it?
