Walking with Jesus in the Holy Land / Fr. A. G. Sertillanges

 

“For those who are dissatisfied when Jesus is depicted as our friend but not as our Savior and our Lord.” — Most Rev. John J. Myers, Archbishop of Newark Here at last is a fully accurate portrait of Jesus, free of the biases and wishful thinking that mar many other books about our Lord. In constructing this enlightening and well-rounded look at Christ, Fr. A. G. Sertillanges delved deeply into the Scriptures and even spent time in the Holy Land — in order to understand how the setting God chose for our Lord’s earthly ministry sheds light on its hidden meanings. 

 

Fr. Sertillanges examines Jesus’s deeds and words in His solitude, in His contact with His enemies and His disciples, and in His dealings with the world at large. In doing so, he gives you a panoramic overview of Jesus’ life on earth — and a perfect refresher for you when your awareness of the Lord’s beauty is diminished by your cares and imperfections. Walking with Jesus in the Holy Land is also a marvelous introduction to Christ for newcomers to the Faith and those who want to deepen their childhood understanding of the gospel. Use it to reacquaint yourself with your Savior today!
