Martin also brings together the most up-to-date Scripture scholarship, wise spiritual reflections, and lighthearted stories about traveling through the Holy Land with a fellow (and funny) Jesuit, visiting important sites in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.</p><p>The person at the heart of the Gospels can seem impossibly distant. Stories about his astonishing life and ministry--clever parables that upended everyone's expectations, incredible healings that convinced even skeptics, nature miracles that dazzled the dumbstruck disciples--can seem far removed from our own daily lives, hard to understand, and at times irrelevant. But in Jesus you will come to know him as Father Martin knows him: Messiah and Savior, as well as friend and brother.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>A gifted storyteller and spiritual director, Father James Martin, SJ, invites readers to experience the stories of the Gospels in a completely new, vivid, and exciting way to gain a deeper understanding of Jesus.

Bravo, Father Martin, for writing a must-read."--<b>Mary Karr</b>, author of <i>Lit</i><br><br>"My highest recommendation...Just read this book and you will understand more about the times in which Jesus lived-and more about what the Gospel stories mean-than you could ever imagine."--The Leaven<br><br>"Part travelog, part biblical commentary, part memoir, part meditation ... This will appeal to readers (not just Catholics) seeking an introduction to the Gospels that is personal but rooted in serious scholarship."--<b>Library Journal</b><br>
