“I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene.”
—ALBERT EINSTEIN

If you are like millions of others who seek to understand Jesus, and perhaps hope someday to be like him, chances are you don’t experience the “peace that passes
understanding” and “joy unspeakable” that his first disciples did.

The reason is simple—you think of Jesus as different from yourself.

In the view of Jesus’ early followers, we have no hope of enjoying the fulfilling
life Jesus lived as long as we regard him as essentially different from us. To Peter, John, Mary, and Paul, Jesus was the embodiment of our true nature—a reflection of who we really are.

Your Forgotten Self invites you to experience yourself through new eyes. To be a
believer is to see yourself mirrored in Jesus. To have faith is to understand yourself as Jesus understood himself.

When this happens, the power of the Christ floods your everyday life. You
begin to live as Jesus in the present moment.

A fascination with Jesus as a giant in personal
development arose in DAVID ROBERT ORD when
he was still in elementary school in England. His pursuit
of insight into the self-understanding of Jesus
took him from his home in Yorkshire to New Zealand,
then to the United States, where he studied at the
Graduate Theological Union of Berkeley and became
a graduate of San Francisco Theological seminary.

With more than 20 years of experience teaching about Jesus in traditional congregations, David now presents us with an understanding of Jesus that breaks with conventional images and reveals him to be the epitome of our humanity, a mirror of the true essence of each of us.
