SHE The Messiah

SHE The Messiah

Is the FEMININE New Testament

What the story of Jesus would have been if Jesus had been a woman named Jesua ...

because gender is irrelevant to the message.

Based on the New New Testament

By Jesus (Jesua) and the Original Authors

Why should we not have a feminine version of the New Testament? Women and men are equal, and the content of the message would be the same whether in the form of Jesus, the man, or Jesua, the woman?

Jesus, and Jesua, would have been a person of magnetic appeal. So his/her appearance would not have been pedestrian but would have stopped you in your tracks - attracted first to his/her striking appearance, to be locked in immediately by the depth of his/her personality. What you might have thought was a superficial initial attraction to her good looks would quickly be superseded by a recognition of something much, much deeper. You would have felt the love connection with all of humanity and of God in him/her. Her eyes, the mirror of the soul, would probably have been the decisive factor.

Moreover, this person, Jesus/Jesua, was not a white American/European/Australian. She/He was a dark Middle Eastern person - a seeming mixture of black, white, Asian features ... indeed, a more generic human being. So, let's show her more closely as she might have been.

This particular version is based on a new presentation of the New Testament. The original version (published as "BEYOND MORTAL: The New New Testament, by Jesus and the Original Authors") was re-written by Jesus and those original authors, as channeled by a Scribe - a holy person who often prayed for long periods in the desert as Jesus did. He was amazed at being asked (in vision) to do this, didn't know whether it could be true or not at first ... and every other person who has read it has followed the same questioning path. You won't know the answer to that question ... until you read it. That's what you should do. If this doesn't leave you with a powerful feeling that God has just spoken directly to you, then go on your way. But, you most probably won't have such an ending ... you will instead be blown away by the power of this book. You will see a direct path to greater joy and happiness than you have ever known. You will be eminently grateful for the rest of your life that this version of the New Testament came your way.

Jim Burch has authored 16 books. In some years, Jim also reached over 30,000 people as a public speaker. While coming from a Christian background, Jim talks of universal human longings and understandings. Non-Christians are usually the first ones to tell him, "That's what I believe! Why haven't I heard it said that way before?" Jim deeply believes - as ultimately does every religion, culture, philosophy, or theology - that (whatever it is we each call) Divinity lives within every human being. It lives in everything that is - so that everything is an individuated manifestation of Divinity, this All-Loving Consciousness that infuses the world with its life and its meaning, its existence, its life, and love.

As a result, he honors that Divinity within every person. He has a conviction that this divine Universal Consciousness, which gives existence to all, is a sort of garden of many beautiful flowers, including some beautiful weeds. He always leaves his readers with a brighter understanding of who they are and why they are here in this life. Readers find a renewed vision of their purpose as individuals to take with them when they leave.

Jim Burch brings a broad background to his writings. He was a real estate developer for much of his career, including National Harbor, the largest mixed-use development in metropolitan Washington, DC, 1 1/2 mile waterfront development on the Potomac River with over a mile of frontage on the DC Beltway. Early on, Jim Burch worked for the federal government's Office of Economic Opportunity ("War on Poverty") all over the US - rural and urban areas, on Indian reservations, in hunger programs, and on migrant worker issues. He has been a lecturer and participant on numerous panels. Jim has been a political consultant on multiple campaigns for individuals running for governor, senator, congressman, and president and was the first press secretary to U.S. Senator (later President) Joseph Biden. He was also the founding chairman of the World Trade Center Washington, D.C. He was ordained a Catholic priest (while married) and later a bishop (now retired). When working in Morocco, then-King Hassan II asked the American Ambassador what Jim Burch was like, and the Ambassador, Tom Nassif, immediately answered: "Jim Burch is the kind of man that built America."

Jim and Patty Burch have 5 children and 13 grandchildren.
