If you put aside what you think you know about Jesus and approach the Gospels as though for the first time, something remarkable happens: Jesus emerges as a teacher of the transformation of consciousness. Cynthia Bourgeault is a masterful guide to Jesus' vision and to the traditional contemplative practices you can use to experience the heart of his teachings for yourself.

This book strengthened my belief that my Soul is far beyond the need of my protection, but my mind is not. Jesus is the teacher of the ego.

A much needed book for my continual learning.

Cynthia Bourgeault is a spiritual genius. She is possessed of a deep spiritual understanding that most spiritual writers lack. It isn’t about attracting more abundance to your life, it is about accepting the life you have as a carefully crafted journey towards accepting the love of God.

What made the experience of listening to The Wisdom Jesus the most enjoyable?

While some of the content was quite challenging to orthodox Christianity as it is now, I found that much of what the author was saying resonated with me, made a lot of sense and ultimately made me feel much closer to and more comfortable with Jesus. Jesus came here to be our teacher and many of his most important lessons have been misinterpreted, overlooked or deliberately skewed to suit the ends of those that came later and set up Christianity as we now know it and this turned me away from the church for many years. However, books like this one seek to find the real Jesus, the real teaching and the true meaning of his life and death and resurrection. Follow and get to know the man and let him live in your heart and leave behind the the constrained practices, rules and regulations that have been built up around his name over the last 2000 years.

What other book might you compare The Wisdom Jesus to, and why?

So far, I have never read any other book like this one.

What does Jo Howarth bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The narration was gentle and easy to listen to and I did not tire of hearing Jo's voice.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

If you thought you knew Jesus, think again. See Jesus with new vision in this thought provoking book by Cynthia Bourgeault.

Any additional comments?

This is a book that I will listen to again many times and I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

As a western raised in a non religious christian society, I had no idea of the teachings of Christ without the dogma.

If anything, I was anti-Christ due to the connotations of ‘Jesus saves’.

Reading Jesus as a wisdom master was a revelation. I now understand him as an equal to Buddha and Lao Tzu - rather than a divisive figure who founded an outdated church based on superstition and control.

Awesome book. 10/10 recommend.

Wow!

Cynthias knowledge and insight into the wisdom Jesus are exciting and thought provoking. There are many gems to discover. I have this as a physical book but found Jo Howarth does an excellent job of reading and it very much enhanced the flow. It felt as though Cynthia was talking to me. I highly recommend the audiobook version of this

Great book Well read
