What really happened to the man we know as Jesus Christ during the mysterious missing years of his youth? What truths have been hidden from us, and why? And what about those traditions we hear of Jesus having re-traveled the Silk Road to northern India after the crucifixion?
Join researcher and explorer Edward T. Martin as he journeys to remote exotic locations in India, Nepal, and elsewhere in Central Asia, unraveling the mysteries of Jesus' lost years. Follow the author on a thrilling journey of spiritual discovery as he travels the world, from Alaska to the Himalayas, in search of lost knowledge, adventure, and much more!
Edward T. Martin was born and raised in a small town in the Hill Country of central Texas. During his childhood, on summer vacation trips with his parents, he was able to visit many parts of the United States.
At the age of 19, he drove with a friend to Alaska to fight summertime forest fires with the Bureas of Land Management. He attended the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, where he later graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech Communications. At the age of 21 he made his first overseas trip to Kenya, Tanzania (where he climbed the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro), and Uganda. While in Alaska, he was actively involved with parachuting, archery, and mountaineering (including a summit climb of Mt. Mckinley).
After graduating from UAF, he became a Peace Corps volunteer, teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Nepal. During his travels in India, he researched the subject of Jesus in India and found a surprising amount of historical evidence and folklore.
Later, he was a Peace Corps volunteer for two years in the South Pacific, in the Fiji Islands. During that time, he traveled extensively in Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia. After leaving Fiji, he lived for one year at Izumo, Japan, where he taught ESL and studied the martial arts of Kendo and Iaido (Fencing and Swordmanship), earning a Shodan degree in both.
He also taught ESL for one year at Taif, Saudi Arabia for Siyanco Corporation and later he taught ESL to Afghan refugees at Peshawar, Pakistan. In the United States he has worked as a teacher, a newspaper reporter and photographer, and as the manager of a publishing company. He is an avid student of comparative religion, spirituality, history and foreign cultures. A gifted linguist, he speaks seven languages.
Currently he owns and operates the Jonah Publishing Company, and and is working also with several radio and TV projects. The documentary movie "Jesus in India" by Paul Davids is based on Ed's first book: "King of Travelers, Jesus' Lost Years in India". Ed's latest two books, the DVD of the documentary movie, and its associated music CD can all be ordered through the website. More information on the subject is given here.
