Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
What if Jesus was just an ordinary boy searching for enlightenment? This inspirational novel re-imagines his epic life, in particular, the eighteen years not mentioned in the Bible.
THE TRANSMIGRANT is an alternative, fictional take on the life of Jesus of Nazareth. Inspired both by ancient scriptures and relatively new findings, such as Russian traveler Nicolas Notovitch's 1894 book "The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ," THE TRANSMIGRANT explores Jesus' life during the years not mentioned in the Bible. It's a remarkable tale of self-discovery that explores the lost years of Jesus Christ, and a reflection on the lengths a man will go to be admired, accepted and, ultimately, loved.
The year is AD 8. In the backwaters of Galilee, the twelve-year-old carpenter Yeshua nourishes an impossible dream--to become a rabbi. When a Buddhist pilgrim tells him about a country called Sindh, where anyone can be a monk, Yeshua's hope rekindles. He joins a camel caravan and sets off on a thousand mile journey across the Silk Road into the unknown. Guided by the words of the Buddha and Krishna, but crippled by a stubborn reluctance to obey rules, Yeshua stumbles from temple to temple in search for a place where he may finally teach.

Synopsis
What if Jesus was just an ordinary boy seeking enlightenment? Read the mesmerizing novel that others have called "life-changing" and "divinely inspired."
8 AD, at the Temple of Jerusalem. Charismatic young Yeshua thrills his audience when God seems to communicate through him. While his listeners gush, not everyone is impressed. The priests scoff and say that no carpenter, however wise, can ever enter their holy ranks. Humiliated and robbed of his only dream, Yeshua resigns to a drab life as a laborer and even agrees to marry the wealthy maiden his father has chosen for him.
One day, when a Buddhist pilgrim invites Yeshua along to the magical country Sindh, where anyone can become a monk, an irresistible portal of hope opens.
Torn between duty and following his bliss, Yeshua must choose between keeping his promise to his father or selfishly chasing his dream and bringing everlasting shame upon his family.
Riveting, enlightening, and deeply moving, The Transmigrant is a brilliantly vivid story about Jesus's lost years that will fascinate you and stay with you forever.
If you enjoy spiritual, thought-provoking fiction like The Celestine Prophecy or The Alchemist, and have ever wondered if Jesus did travel in India, you will relish this intriguing page-turner.
