“An unorthodox account of the events in the life of Jesus between the Resurrection and the Ascension, as revealed to the author in what he claims to have been a vision. The character and message of Jesus are presented in all their nobility, but stripped of the miraculous element which has become unacceptable to some. I issued the book for what it was - a piece of literature, containing moving passages and a sensational, yet to the author, uncannily convincing story” (Christopher Sandford in Cock-A-Hoop).
