General Description:
None of his words were recorded in scripture, yet he clearly teaches us what it means to be a husband, a father, a true man of God.
He was just a man, appointed by God to be the husband of Mary and the chosen father of Jesus. But there is more to St. Joseph than his familiar role at the center of the salvation message. In him, we see a man of uncompromised obedience. A prayerful man. An exemplary worker. A true model of authentic manhood. Joseph: The Man Closest To Christ explores all aspects of St. Joseph - the historical man, his response to God's call, and the many ways in which he reflects the nature of God.
