Wisdom of the Carpenter: 365 Prayers and Meditations of Jesus

Jesus preached a radical message of individual spiritual awakening. Wisdom of the Carpenter presents those teachings with 365 prayers designed for the contemporary seeker. Incorporating his own new translations of the earliest available texts, comparative religion scholar Ron Miller brings Jesus' voice and advice to life, while added commentary relates Jesus' teachings to those of the world's other great religious traditions. Little-known teachings of Jesus from the Gospel of Thomas, the Book of Q, and other lost sources are included. A years worth of prayers.
