Veronica: The Lost Years of Jesus

These are the so-called lost years in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, the years strangely absent from the Christian narrative before he took up his public ministry at the age of thirty. The story is told from the viewpoint of his younger cousin, Veronica. Their mothers are sisters, and from the outset Mary and Salome's deep bond is reflected in the lives of the young cousins. Two stories are entwined as one; that of the man Jesus as he studies and travels through distant lands, slowly coming to terms with his extraordinary mission. And it is the story of the women who profoundly impacted his life. He often told them he would only accomplish his work if they stepped up to fulfill their destinies alongside him. Veronica narrates her own experiences in Palestine, Brittany, and Egypt, enriched with visionary glimpses of her cousin on his travels. A second voice follows Jesus during those long years when he is far from his family and all that he knows, studying with the Masters of his day, in turn sharing his wisdom and compassion with the many who are drawn to him. When at last he returns to Nazareth, the two voices join, bringing the story to a close at the baptism in the River Jordan. The story finds its heart in the great cultural crossroads of Jerusalem, where the various Jewish sects collide under increasing pressure from Rome. The teachings of the Master Jesus are as relevant today as they were 2,000 years ago.

About the Author
Jacelyn is a lifelong traveler, a citizen of the world, having lived and worked on four continents. A singular event during one of her journeys in 2003 triggered a powerful vision of a previous incarnation as Veronica, cousin to Jesus of Nazareth. Initial disbelief dissipated as she began to chronicle her memories, and the details of that life came alive for her. The "Veronica" series places the life and teachings of Jesus within the cauldron of social and political ferment under Roman rule. The books reveal that his success came with the assistance of many guides and teachers from different lands, and highlights the crucial role played by the women in his life. It is Jacelyn's hope that the readers of this series will find a deeper, richer and more satisfying account of the life and teachings of the man Jesus ... and in this revelation discover tools for living a happier and more powerful and fulfilling life. A former U.S. diplomat, Jacelyn served in Brazil, Japan and Portugal. She left the Foreign Service to focus on her passion for writing and teaching. Along with Tai Chi and Chi Gong, she has taught a wide range of esoteric subjects, voiced audio books for other authors, and led retreats and group tours to sacred spots around the world. She looks forward to sharing her vivid recall of this seminal lifetime as a pathway for others to recognize their own magnificent histories, and their highest potential in the world today.
