Ledwith has a very unique way of storytelling and I was intrigued to see this subject coming from him. It was well written and respectful of the underlining subject it was based upon. Some theologians will likely find fault with much of the subject matter at hand. However if treated as a fictionalized dramatization, it is an interesting take on a piece of Christian history. Ledwith is a gifted storyteller and certainly keeps my interest in each story. I look forward to seeing what he writes next.

This was an interesting, historical story about John the Baptist and how his teachings about love and equality helped to change people’s thoughts and beliefs.
It is a heartwarming story as his relationship and connection with Mischa grows but it is also heartbreaking because of the outcome.
Its a story that teaches us that everyone is equal no matter who they are or what they believe and that everyone deserves love and compassion. It is a very thought provoking story especially in the current world.

This is my first book by Stuart Ledwith. The fact he wrote about John the Baptist is interesting. The philosopher Edouards spreads the story of John the Baptist and the message. It is a book that shares insight to the man of John the Baptist. It is not strictly a religious book but one that brings his character to the light. Can a man who paves the way for the Messiah spread more than the prophetic teachings? What was John the Baptist’s life message? I highly recommend this story to see what Stuart Ledwith’s story is about John the Baptist.

This is one of the third books from this author that I’ve found myself enjoying. The author has a way of educating his audience in making his subjects more human than anything else that they are. Very good job placing the characters in a more interesting light than we’ve learned outside of a religious view.

This book is a very interesting look at the life of John the Baptist, I am not a religious person and this is not a religious book in any way, however, I still found it immensely informative and thought provoking.
This story starts with Tiberius Claudius Nero Cesar Augustus, or Tiberius the Great one having a discussion with his emissary and close friend Paternuns Maximas he tells him of the things he has learned while on his travels to Syria, Jerusalem, Palestine and the Judean Desert. They discuss the legionnaires stationed out there, the situation with King Herod, the rebellious uprising of a group of religious zealots and the rising of a Hebrew “King” and a powerful and influential man who will aid him from the Essene religion. They discuss the problems that these different parties are causing the legions and how to remedy it, this is as well as discussing the “God” of these new religions and how his followers have said that they will remove the “invaders” from their lands. This worries Tiberius, especially because it isn’t a god which is known to them or one that they are familiar with.
This is where we first hear about John the Baptist or the “Desert Prophet” and the things that he has done, miracles he has performed and to Paternus, other outlandish things. It is this that worries Tiberius more than anything is that these “god-men” could become more powerful than him.
We next join Rabbi John the Nazarene and learn more about his daily life, who he interacts with, as well as his family and the journey which he will go on with them. We learn that he is a humble man who lives by himself in the desert, he baptises and preaches to the local population and lives a solitary, but enjoyable life by the River Jordan. His peaceful life is then interrupted by a visit from an old friend he has known since school who comes to him with a message. This message is that he is going to be an influential man who will teach people about love and equality, he will do this with the aid of a woman and that this will also be his demise.
This is where we truly learn about the journey he embarks on in the first person as his soul tells his story and enlightens the readers about the messages he brought and his life while he did this. It talks about his thoughts, feelings, experiences and ultimately his death. It is an original concept which is absorbing and wonderful to experience.

John the Baptist: As His Soul Remembers by Stuart Ledwith is a story about religion and spirituality and is an interesting story. This is definitely not my style of book, but it was informative. I was intrigued by the fact that he was preaching on many things, but gender equality really stands out for me. It is a story of a man so entrenched in his beliefs that he wants to share it with everyone but like all religion not everyone wants to listen to what he has to say. John the Baptist a historical retelling of the man and his life/work/beliefs.

John The Baptist: As His Soul Remembers by Stuart Ledwith is an interesting story about a well known religious figure. It felt like quite a good historical retelling of a life so many know already know. I liked how the book has a fact based approach to it as it took away from the “religious” aspect that could have come through. I really do enjoy the writing style this authors brings to his books. I find it easy to engage with and always find the content to be interesting. It felt like I was learning so much while reading this book and I really enjoyed that. Although not the usual type of book I would choose this was definitely a great book.

John the Baptist: As His Soul Remembers by Stuart Ledwith is another interesting historical chronicle- this time focusing on the real life biblical character John the Baptist. As with the other book of Mr. Ledwith’s that I have read, it is quite original and interesting- full of facts, religion/spirituality, history, and more. As with the other book, this had a bit of a documentary feel to it- and could make for an interesting television show.

John the Baptist: As His Soul Remembers By Stuart Ledwith 5 out of 5 stars
The book John the Baptist: As His Soul Remembers by Stuart Lediwth is a story that is informative and inspirational. It is a book that pulls you in and doesn’t let you go until the final page. It is a joy to read about John the Baptist and how he lived his life. It was refreshing to read about a man who had such strong beliefs and was always looking to bring happiness and good news to others. It is sad to read about how so many did not listen to the words that he spoke. The author does a wonderful job of making both the storyline and the characters come alive on the pages. I felt like I was right there listening to John speak. I couldn’t help but be encouraged by the words that John spoke and would highly recommend reading this story.

This story of John the Baptist was interesting to read. I am pretty sure he did not have a love interest. I am in no way so well versed in the scripture that I know for a fact but, from what I have read I see no indication. I don’t feel like it was accurate to the teachings of the Bible but there were a lot of things I did see that I thought were true to the John the Baptist from the Bible. He did indeed spread the teachings of Jesus, baptized many people and was beheaded for a ridiculous reason. I found these things to be true to him and looking past some of the other things said about him in this book, that I find to be fiction I did enjoy reading it as a story and of course love the fact that he was teaching equality between genders.

I enjoyed this book. This is my first book by this author. I found it to be informative and interesting. It is a shorter book that will bring inspiration and show you that we are all created equal. Edouards is a philosopher that wants to spread his message about God and what he believes. This is a story of how he tries to get people to listen to him and the message he wants to share. This is not a book I normally read but I am glad I picked it up and found it to be enjoyable. I highly recommend this book.

Welcome to the life and times of John the Baptist, a Messiah, a prophet, a healer, a baptizer, a loner, a lover, a bringer of great news to the Jewish people and all others who listened. This is in no way a religious book. It is writen to clarify his life, his thought, his feelings and to set right a few wrongs.
Edouard, the philosopher, believes humans will always try to take over the things of souls and the things of God and when they do they misuse the word of God to fit their own needs for power and control. Edouard’s message was to listen to the word of God, love God as God loves you, live unconditional love, all are created equal.
In his lifetime there were no people in power willing to listen to him or his message. The mangods conspired to eliminate him. He died on the whim of a dancing girl who wanted his head on a platter.
Dr. Stu has always enjoyed spending time and conversing with souls desiring to make themselves known to him. He finds it quite normal to converse with them as he would a human. When writing with them he writes what they say verbatum or as close as possible to the desired meaning, he describes pictures they present and the emotions displayed. In his last book he wrote for the soul of Sarah Tarbell, a distant cousin of his describing the harrowing tale of her abduction at age fourteen and her growth to adulthood in a very different world. In this volume he writes for the soul Edouard who enlivened the body of John the Baptist. These works are subtitled, “As His/Her Soul
