{"product_id":"2940000213100","title":"The Gospel of Thomas: A Guidebook for Spiritual Practice","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Gospel of Thomas—a book of                 sayings and wisdom of Jesus compiled as early or earlier                 than the New Testament gospels—can transform your                 spiritual life.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eThere are many academic commentaries on                 the Gospel of Thomas, but this book has a different aim. It is                 meant to be a guidebook, that is, a translation of the sayings                 into daily practice. The goal of such practice is to become                 Jesus’s twin. This does not, of course, mean becoming an                 olive-skinned, bearded Mediterranean peasant wearing sandals.                 It is more about manifesting in our lives the same Christ                 consciousness revealed in the person we know as Jesus of                 Nazareth. \u003cbr\u003e—from the Introduction \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eIn the decades since its discovery, the Gospel of Thomas                  has intrigued people of all faiths around the world. Shedding                 new light on the origins of Christianity, the  Gospel of Thomas                 raises questions about whether the New Testament’s                 version of Jesus’s teachings is entirely accurate and                 complete. In the Gospel of Thomas we see Jesus as a wisdom-loving sage,                 sharing aphorisms about the value of the present and each                 person’s role in the creation of the Kingdom of God here                 on earth. But these inspiring sayings can leave you wondering,                 \"What next?\"\u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eNow you can learn how to start applying                 Jesus’s wisdom to your own life—and, in turn, to                 the world around you. This unique guidebook leads you through                 Thomas, offering practices that help you translate                 Jesus’s wisdom into a more fulfilling, enriching daily                 life, including: \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecoming a Spiritual                 Adult \u003c\/li\u003e            \u003cli\u003eSorting Out the Old                 and the New \u003c\/li\u003e            \u003cli\u003eBeing a Healing                 Presence             \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaring to Be a City                 on a Hill \u003c\/li\u003e            \u003cli\u003eGod’s Reign                 Calls for Ready Hands \u003c\/li\u003e            \u003cli\u003eSpirituality Is Not                 Skygazing \u003c\/li\u003e            \u003cli\u003e • And much more                 …\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SkyLight Paths Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076193370352,"sku":"2940000213100","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940000213100","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
