jesus-of-nazarethOur free read this week is Pope Benedict XVI’s Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives. In this book, the Pope focuses on the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ life as a child and the major figures involved in His life at this time. He explores the themes of hope, sacrifice and surrender to God’s will, longing for and seeking God, and trusting in the redemption offered by the birth of the Messiah. A timely read in the season of Advent, the Pope’s book tells how the infancy narratives reveal the truth that leads to joy.
