This is the Jesus story reclaimed from empire. Subversive, nonviolent, and dangerously hopeful...
-Cody Deese, author of Discovering Your Internal Universe
A Jesus story for the rest of us.Jesus returns to Judea carrying a hard-won vision of freedom, compassion, and truth. But the world he reenters has little patience for a defiant teacher who won't fall in line. The Temple watches closely. Rome waits for a mistake. And even those who love him struggle to understand where his path is leading. As crowds gather and the pressure mounts, Jesus is forced to reckon with the cost of speaking plainly in a world built on fear and control. His teachings draw hope from the margins-and suspicion from those in power. Friends argue. Loyalties fracture. And trusting the Way becomes harder as the walls of opposition close in.
Metta Valley Gospel: Book II is a work of literary spiritual fiction and historical fiction about Jesus, written for readers who have deconstructed inherited religion-or who are searching for a way to engage the Jesus story beyond orthodoxy. Blending historical imagination with the spirituality of nonviolent resistance, this novel asks a dangerous and enduring question:
What does it mean to carry the light of liberation in a world determined to snuff it out?
