I am currently working on a book and while I am waiting for the reviewers to complete their task, I found myself writing the one announced hereafter.

Cost: $7.00

From the intro:
The purpose of this work is to review that which various apocryphal texts state about Jesus and to do so for various reasons. One reason is that some people have the idea that such apocryphal text, by any other name such as alternate gospels, portray Jesus in very different terms than does the New Testament (hereinafter “NT”) or subsequent Christian theology. Such idea are promulgated largely by pop-researchers and popularizers of Gnosticism, zeitgeist-style theorists, Jesus mythicists, et al.
The book is a consideration of how 34 apocryphal texts portray Jesus.
I may go on to “publish” this on Amazon or some such service but decided to begins its run by utilizing PayPal. When you submit money via PayPal it auto-notifies the one receiving the money and that email includes the payee’s e-address.
Thus, you can use the following PayPal link, send at least $7.00 (I say “at least” only because that is what I am charging for the book but some people may want to donate a little extra) and I will email you the e-book in PDF format.
