I finished reading Book I of "The Immortal," by J J Dewey yesterday. I haven't been so thrilled about a book since I read Rick Joyner's "The Final Quest" two or so years ago. I'm surprised I've not heard of Dewey's book before. It was published in '98 and is extremely well-written, presented as a "fiction" for the purpose of casting the dialogue in an appealing way. The book cover states: "Legend has it that John, the author of the Apocalypse, never died and still walks the earth after 2000 years. These pages have the fascinating story of one man's encounter with a virtual immortal." This book is a most remarkable synergizing of the Western religious teachings as epitomized in Christianity's Bible and the Eastern mystical New Age teachings, taking the best from both while gently exposing the falacies of the extremes found in both. So far, I find no reason not to believe that Joseph John Dewey has in actuality been commissioned personally by John the Revelator to stand as a spokesman for him in conveying greater light and knowledge to a planet so much in need of healing. His teachings about the nature of God and of man and how we can stop giving power to the brothers of darkness ring true to me and are in complete harmony with what I have learned through my own studies and experience. It not only validates my own highest beliefs, but expands them and clarified them. As one coming from a Christian/Mormon background, I resonated with the teachings of this book, while so many of the New Age writings usually turn me off. Likewise, people coming from a New Age bend also resonate with the teachings of this book, while customarily they are turned off by things Christian. The teachings of John appeal to both camps. This work of J J Dewey may well be the primary catalyst for bringing harmony between the left and right-brain schisms of Christianity and New Age philosophy. New Age in its extreme is wrought with dangerous detours, but so is Christianity in its extremes of orthodoxy. We need both the left-brain analytical and the right brain intuitive religious understandings to obtain wholeness. I hope you all will take the opportunity to read this amazing book. You may download Book I for free at http://www.freeread.com or by calling 1-800-390-5687. You may also obtain Book I and II through that web site ($19.95).
ALPHABETICS COMMENTARY: Out of curiosity, I just looked up the address listed for the publisher of this book, Great AD-ventures, 3701 Overland, Suite B, Boise, ID 83705. Word 3701 in the NT lexicon means, "A sight, appearance, especially a vision or apparition." Word 3705 (last four digits of the zip code) similarly means, "A sight, spectacle, that which is seen. Used of a supernatural appearance, a vision." Word 3701 in the OT lexicon seems to have a strong opposite meaning. Its definition is "(1) silver, (2) money; used of that which is acquired by money." The name of the website for the book The Immortal is www.freeread.com Word 3705 means, "now, already," and cites Dan. 2:23, which I have noted in my margin is the "story of Daniel interpreting the dream." I don't present this as a sign requisite for belief, but rather as a sign that follows belief.
