ISSA

A story of Jesus youth—could it also be the story of us all? What if Jesus, who came to be known as Saint Issa in the East, were the example and not the exception? If we choose to be who we really are, could we change the course of history? Thousands of miles from Bethlehem, less than two centuries before Jesus birth, warfare was waged against a nomadic people who eventually established a vast empire throughout Bactria and portions of China, Afghanistan, Iran, and India—the Kushan empire . . . Who were the Kushans? Where did they come from? Could the Kushans have been reestablishing a high civilization during Jesus life? Could they have been influenced by the wisdom of young Issa and could they have helped to prepare him for his mission? Were the Kushans the distant descendants of the twelve tribes of Israel? And what was the meaning of the gold Signet that linked the Kushans, the Three Wise Men and the ancient Order of Melchizedek? Issa thrusts us into the life of Jesus during the period of his “lost years.” The elements of adventure, intrigue, the mysterious, and a spirituality that transcends doctrine and dogma beg the question... “Was the greatest story ever told ... the complete story?”
