The Jesus Papers: Exposing the Greatest Cover-Up in History
Published: March 1st 2007 by HarperSanFrancisco (firstpublished 2006)
Details: Paperback, 352 pages
Description:
What if everything we have been told about the origins of Christianity is a lie?
What if a small group had always known the truth and had kept it hidden . . . until now?
What if there is evidence that Jesus Christ survived the crucifixion?
In Holy Blood, Holy Grail Michael Baigent and his co-authors Henry Lincoln and Richard Leigh stunned the world with a controversial theory that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene married and founded a holy bloodline. The book became an international publishing phenomenon and was one of the sources for Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code. Now, with two additional decades of research behind him, Baigent's The Jesus Papers presents explosive new evidence that challenges everything we know about the life and death of Jesus.
REVIEW:
Extremely speculative!! Every single one of the so-called evidence he provides has no base in history whatsoever. Speculative analysis of obscure and made up data along with playing with peoples ignorance of the truth is what made this book what it is (as well as farming on the element of doubt this book plants in ones mind as the book progresses.). Conspiracy theories has always been like this... just plain speculation! no more, no less!!

ANGEL STAR
A book that i've am waiting patiently to be published. The author, Jennifer Murgia is a good friend of mine and i can't wait to see what she has written. I somehow feel that this book is gonna be just amazing. Even though there might be a few 'Angel' themed books out there right now, i somehow feel something different and unique about this book. My recent chats with Jennifer has also made it clear to me that this book is going to be unique in its genre. I am really looking forward to reading this book.
Here's a description of her book, Angel Star:
Seventeen-year-old Teagan McNeel falls for captivating Garreth Adams and soon discovers that her crush has an eight-point star etched into the palm of his right hand-the mark of an angel. But where there is light, dark follows, and she and Garreth suddenly find themselves vulnerable to a dark angel's malicious plan that could threaten not only her life, but the lives of everyone she knows. Divinely woven together, Angel Star takes readers on a reflective journey when one angel's sacrifice collides with another angel's vicious ambition in a way that is sure to have readers searching for their own willpower.
