The Kabbalah Code: A True Adventure

by James F. Twyman

During the world premiere of The Moses Code movie, an angry audience member challenges James Twyman in a very unusual way. She says that his ideas surrounding the story of Moses and the name given to him by God, “I AM THAT, I AM,” are incomplete. It wasn’t a comma that unlocked the secrets of creation, but a Yud, the most sacred letter in the Hebrew alphabet (which looks very much like a comma). Thus begins Twyman's quest to discover the true meaning of the Sacred Names of God, leading him to an adventure in Paris that changes his life forever. Within these pages, James enters the world of the ancient Kabbalah, the mystical teachings of Judaism, and realizes that the rabbit hole goes far deeper than he thought. Join James and Phil Gruber—a friend and spiritual teacher who decides to initiate this incredible journey—as they travel to ten of the most sacred sites in Paris, unlocking the secrets found in the many Names of God and revealing lost teachings that may change the world. Written in the style of a high adventure such as The Da Vinci Code and The Celestine Prophecy, this is an unforgettable book that will draw you into a world of intrigue and Kabbalistic lore.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! I just finished this book and a was following along, nodding and uh-hu'ing in all the right places, and BLAM! the book ends and I'm like "What the heck! Someone call the cops cuz someone stole the end of the book!"

No? No one else? Just me?

The grand reveal was apparent early on in the book for those whom love Mary & Mary Magdalene. For those of you who are nor familiar, "The Marys" came to the south of France after the crucifixion and many churches were built in her honor. The Chartres is most important, in my opinion, because it is built on a very important "spiritual fault line" where Mary herself taught not only the word but also how to pray and how to use the labyrinth as it was taught to her by Jesus. The Chartres removes their chairs on the equinox for those of you who would like to follow Jerusalem' Way.

I would have given his a higher rating if the authors spent more time explaining the origin of the names (the story behind where they came from and how they were used originally) and a little more time explaining the importance of each of the churches.

I wanted it to be more. I wanted to feel invested in his experiences. I wanted to learn about the Kabbalah. I was disappointed and wondered what his motivation for writing was.
