About the Book
"Let it be known that there will be stories and information that you may not have heard before. I encourage you to allow yourself to remain open and to receive what is meant for you. Time continues to go by so quickly. Grasping for crumbs of harmony and joy is not what your life ought to be about.Be assured that it's definitely not the reason you're here."
How does a Jewish woman from Brooklyn become best friends with Jesus? What makes one person's experience of Jesus more important than another's? Does Jesus speak to people in the twenty-first century, or is He confined to the Scriptures? The truth is . . . there is no way to really answer these questions definitively. Even the authenticity of the Gospels is questioned by many scholars, as there have been so many revisions and translations over the centuries. The only way to approach the information in this book is to consider whether it is relevant to you, the reader-- whether it touches you and makes sense to you . . . or not.
As we are all the creators and judges of our own lives, we also know what is meaningful to us. As you read these pages, you will hear the wonderful and profound messages that Jesus wishes to convey, and you will know if its truth is yours . . . or not.
You be the judge.

Excerpt
Editor's Note
I remember years ago Neale Donald Walsch appeared on Larry King Live to talk about his extraordinary series of books called Conversations with God, which by that time had been on the New York Times bestseller list of over 170 weeks. One of the first questions Larry asked, in a somewhat gruff tone of voice, was, "How do you know you're talking to God?" To everyone's surprise, Neale responded that he didn't know. Larry relaxed. Okay, he was probably thinking, this guy is not certifiable. Neale went on to point out that no one could really know the information he recieved was from God--only that was how the source of his information identified itself. He wasn't vested in proving anything. He only requested that when people read the book, they decide for themsleves if the information was meaningful to them, and if the knowing of which would make a difference in their lives.
Having edited and published both books, I can say that the same principle should apply for Conversations with Jesus. Alexis Eldridge calls Jesus an intimate friend, and talks to him every day. He wanted to write this book with Alexis and convey some information that he thought would be beneficial for people to know. Alexis also knows that there is no way she can prove that Jesus dictated these words. She can only know that these words did not, could not, have come from her own mind, and that to the depths of her soul, she believes that they come from Jesus. The fact is, either you believe in life after death or you don't. If you do, then it makes sense that time is different in that realm and it may be certainly possible to communicate with anyone who lived in any "time" period on the earth.
Much of what you will read in this book will gently change the perception of who Jesus was and what his role was in the brief time he was on the earth as the man they called Yeshua ben Joseph. I believe this book has the real message that he came to communicate to all of us. Jesus said that one can know the nature of a thing by the fruit it bears. Thus, Alexis can only ask that the reader decide if what is written here makes sense to them and if the thoughts and ideas ring true in their heart. I know they do for me.
