General Description:

“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!

At last! Meet the real Jesus instead of the politically correct counterfeit:

• Why our Lord chose to spend His earthly life confined within a relatively small area

• Jesus: meek and humble of heart? Sure — but discover here His titanic strength

•  Why Jesus’ ministry appealed to so few — despite His wisdom and miraculous power 

• Two key reasons why Jesus’ teachings are unique in all human history

• The one element that must be in your prayers to Christ, or they will be fruitless — no matter how insistent and heartfelt

• Jesus: frustrated in His ministry? How this unusual insight can strengthen your faith

• Jesus’ hidden life in Nazareth: its important but unnoticed impact on your salvation

• Holy solitude: how Jesus kept it even amid bustle and noise — and you can, too

• Jesus’ attitude toward nature: what you should learn from it to enhance your prayers

• Why Jesus and His Church are and will always be irritants to the secular world

•  Moving and inspiring lessons you can learn from Jesus’ work as a humble and unknown carpenter

• And much more to bring you closer to Jesus and vivify your spiritual life!
