Comments about this book:
David Capps leads us into the deeper, inner meanings of the sayings of Christ Jesus contained in the Gospel of Thomas. David shares, out of the depths of his personal spiritual experience, the understanding of Jesus' words, ideas and intentions revealed to him. His book opens vistas of knowledge for us all.
The exercises he presents at the end of his exploration of the Gospel of Thomas, give us a useful pathway to receive the personal understanding that belongs to each individual.
This is a worthy addition to our library of study guides into the esoteric and metaphysical meaning the Scriptures, and particularly what the words of Christ Jesus, as shared in the Gospel of Thomas, hold for us all.
Rev. Robert L. Pulliam
David Capps has intuited the spiritual messages hidden within the Gospel of St. Thomas. The exercises at the end of the book reveal the same spiritual teachings that Jesus Christ learned at the Secret School of the Essenes before beginning his ministry.
Kurt Wheelock, Author and spiritual teacher
In the Gospel of Thomas, David Capps returns the words Jesus spoke two thousand years ago to their intended purpose: a message in a bottle of personal meaning to the life of every Spiritual seeker in the 21st century.
