The Childhood of Jesus

by Jakob Lorber

Takes the reader on an incredible journey with the Christ Child from His birth in a humble setting, to His sojourn in Egypt and return to Nazareth, and finally to His three days in the temple, where His teachings were so profound as to astonish all who were in attendance. At each stage of Jesus' life, Jakob Lorber is able to introduce the many relationships that comprise Jesus' family and friends and how the Christ Child, from infant to young boy, taught lessons of love, forgiveness, and mercy to them. Not only His words, but His miracles and acts of power, bear witness to the divinity and Lordship of the Christ. In these little-known and forgotten years of His Childhood that Lorber has illuminated, readers will be strengthened in their faith and also gain new insights into scriptures that the Christ Child uses in His teachings in the temple. An absolute must-read for old and young alike.

About the author

Jakob Lorber (22 July 1800 – 24 August 1864) was a Christian mystic and visionary from the Duchy of Styria, who promoted liberal Universalism. He referred to himself as "God's scribe". He wrote that on 15 March 1840 he began hearing an 'inner voice' from the region of his heart and thereafter transcribed what it said. By the time of his death 24 years later he had written manuscripts equivalent to more than 10,000 pages in print.

His writings were published posthumously as amounting to a "New Revelation", and the contemporary "Lorber movement" forms one of the major neo-revelationist sects, mostly active in German-speaking Europe, although part of Lorber's writings have also been translated into more than 20 languages (according to the website of the Lorber Publisher) and the world-wide spread adherents do not gather in an institutionalized church, but usually continue to belong to their previous Christian denomination.
