The Remnant

by Mary La Croix

The Edgar Cayce readings come alive in this fascinating novel on the Essenes and their preparation for the Messiah. The story revolves around three women whose lives were profoundly affected by the advent of Jesus, and includes the preparation of Mary, and the birth, education, ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus.

[Steve Martinson]

Very good historical fiction story about how Jesus's 33 years of life may have gone. Lots about Mary and Joseph's lives and almost all the characters in the New Testament are at least mentioned, if not even playing a larger role. This book was published in 1981, but is still a very interesting story.
