General Description:

Louise Bourassa Perrotta
foreword by Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R.

"Scintillating!"

"A real page-turner"

"Couldn't put it down."

Normally such phrases are associated with spy novels and thrillers, not a biography of St. Joseph. After all, what can you say about a man who is mentioned only a handful of times in Scripture and then only as a supporting actor in the drama featuring Mary and Jesus?

Now, perhaps the first time, the real Joseph of Nazareth emerges from behind the legends and myths that have dominated earlier works. This is not a pallid icon gazing at a lily, but a rugged flesh and blood carpenter deeply in love with his wife, passionately devoted to his son, skilled at his work, and completely dedicated to God's will.

In these pages you will meet, not only a man you can admire and appreciate, but an unsurpassed model of the Christian life; a saint to whom you can turn for guidance in everything from parenthood to a happy death.

About the Author: Louise Bourassa Perrotta is a free-lance writer and editor. She has worked in a variety of capacities in pastoral programs in the United States, Belgium, and England.
