The Book of Andrew: A Past-Life Memoir
This is a true story.
Charles, a very young Southern child, tells his sister that he really
should have been named “Andrew.” Decades later, an important
early teacher of A Course in Miracles, a scholarly psychologist
not given to visions, has a clairvoyant experience upon meeting Charles.
He is startled to see a name emblazoned on Charles’s forehead....
Andrew.
Charles goes to London and a famous psychic there tells him, “You
knew Jesus.” He has extraordinary mystical experiences and informative
dreams, including revelations about biblical distortions and some
disciples in love with each other. Haunted by the idea that he has something
important to accomplish in this life, he continues his search for
the truth and has at least one experience of enlightened bliss. Wondering
if he may indeed have lived as the Apostle Andrew, he is guided to
see Bruce Gregory for a brief series of hypnotic past-life regressions.
Like a journalist sent back in time, Charles sees not only that he lived
as Andrew, and that he and the Apostle Philip were lovers, but that Jesus
blessed their union and, in effect, married them.
Understandably shaken, Charles Lehman utters a powerfully simple
prayer, “If it is to be, let it be.”
Shortly after, he begins to be awakened early each morning, at the
time mystics say the veil between worlds is thinnest, to receive vivid
memories in a flood of images, words, and emotions.
These memories constitute the main text of The Book of Andrew, an
astonishing Past-Life Memoir, Witness of a Gay Apostle.

The essential spiritual book, Lehman introduces a version of Jesus, who makes absolute sense. This book holds the true and uncorrupted teachings of the same Jesus who also created "A Course in Miracles."
The practical truth of the statement 'all sin is illusion' is explicitly taught here so that the reader will see 'how' we can Love the sinful brother.

This book is a marvelous addition to the Jesus literature, it came through a soul who was clearly tuned in, taking the form of a past life recall of a life as the apostle Andrew.
It is an easy read, the story is quite fascinating, and the material is very accessible. It communicates the message of love and acceptance that is Jesus' message in one form or another.
The story also very clearly tunes in to Jesus BEFORE he was bombarded into the founder of Christianity by those who followed after, initially Peter and Paul, making very clear that theirs was just one interpretation of him, but certainly not a reflection of what he meant to teach.
