Jesus: A Pilgrimage
About this audiobook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.
WINNER OF THE 2015 CATHOLIC PRESS ASSOCIATION BOOK AWARD.
“James Martin’s riveting
new meditation on Jesus is one of the best books I’ve read in years—on any
subject.” — Mary Karr, author of Lit
James Martin, SJ, gifted
storyteller and New York Times bestselling author of The
Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, brings the Gospels to life and
invites believers and seekers alike to experience Jesus through Scripture,
prayer, and travel.
Father Martin ushers you into
Jesus’ life and times and shows us how Jesus speaks to us today through
combining fascinating insights of historical Jesus studies with profound
spiritual insights about the Christ of faith, recreating the world of
first-century Galilee and Judea.
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.
Stories about Jesus’ 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 but in Jesus
you will come to know him as Father Martin knows him: Messiah and Savior, as
well as friend and brother.
