                    Just this past week (Feb 17-23, 2008), a new book was published by self-styled spiritual guru Deepok Chopra called “The Third Jesus.”  In this book, Chopra wrote, “I want to offer the possibility that Jesus was truly, as he proclaimed, a saviour.

In this way, not only do we do a service to charity enlightened by truth, but we also help give credibility to truth,
