I must admit, I hesitated to post this review. In fact, I didn't sign my name at first. Being neither LGBT nor specifically/traditionally Christian, I don't want to be misperceived as either. But I've always been a little too brave, (through no fault of my own.;-)
So the somewhat controversial premise of this book became almost irrelevant to me in light of its vivid portrayal of Jesus as both powerful divine being and humble man of God. And like most human beings when they come upon something remarkably powerful and potentially helpful to millions of others, I can't help wanting to share this great find...
For many members of the LGBT community, there can sometimes be a sense of disconnection from other spiritual seekers. A sense that their particular experience of life is not addressed by traditional religions or by the many new spiritual groups sprouting up across the planet. For those who find themselves in such a place, as well as for those who wish to welcome these souls into their hearts, the recently released The Book of Andrew is a welcome resource.
Written and edited by two men who spent their lives connected with A Course in Miracles, it offers great solace from the heart of Jesus himself. Whether you are part of the LGBT community in particular, or simply part of the spiritual community at large, this ”past life memoir” offers a touching portrait of the life of Jesus so realistic, so full of unconditional love, that you may feel as if you are visiting with the great Master himself.

Like the Course in Miracles books, The Book of Andrew came into being under unusual circumstances. And similarly, awareness of the book is spreading by word of mouth. The author, Charles Lehman, was a close friend and former lover of Bill Thetford, co-scribe of A Course in Miracles. Through a strange series of events, Charles was led to experience and record the stories of Andrew, the first disciple of Jesus.
The late Ken Wapnick, famous Course in Miracles teacher of Temecula, CA, had a mystical vision of the name “Andrew” written across Charles’ forehead upon their first meeting. The editor, Bruce Gregory, an early teacher of A Course in Miracles, was instrumental in Charles’ subsequent inner journey. Charles died years ago, but his wish to share the peace he experienced as Andrew has now been made possible.
Some grateful LGBT readers have said they finally felt completely accepted, rather than condemned by a God who had previously been presented to them as cold and judgmental. And at least one reader reported that they felt so connected to Jesus via the stories of Andrew that they actually had a vision of Christ after reading the book. If any of this sounds interesting to you, you can find The Book of Andrew on Amazon.com
Through another strange series of events, Awakened Deeksha Giver, Brad Cahill, met the editor of The Book of Andrew. Brad ended up recording an audio version of the book which will be released soon.
