Publisher's summary

A gifted storyteller and spiritual director, Father James Martin, SJ, invites listeners to experience the stories of the Gospels in a completely new, vivid, and exciting way to gain a deeper understanding of Jesus. Moving sequentially through the Gospels, considering not only familiar passages but also the "hidden life" of Jesus, the book offers a bold retelling of the life of Christ, faithful to the Christian tradition, while meditating on parts of the narrative that have often escaped notice.

Martin provides personal stories from his own life, the most up-to-date biblical scholarship, and powerful anecdotes from beloved spiritual teachers, and brings the listener along on his own real-life travels through the Holy Land.

Combining the fascinating insights of historical Jesus studies with profound spiritual reflections about the Christ of faith, Martin re-creates the world of first-century Galilee and Judea to usher us into Jesus's life and times and reveal how Jesus speaks to us today. Jesus: A Pilgrimage is an invitation to know Jesus as Father Martin knows him: Messiah and Savior, as well as friend and brother.

great book to help better understand Jesus

Whether you're a new believer or someone who's been around the church for a long time, Father Martin brings Jesus to a human level that I'd never considered before. It really helped me connect to my Savior in a meaningful way.

Fr. James Martin Jesus:A Pilgrimage

Would you consider the audio edition of Jesus to be better than the print version?

Both editions are great.

Any additional comments?

Fr. Martin is not only a very talented writer but reading his material as well. Listening to Fr. Martin's audio-books makes me feel as I am listening to a friend tell me a story.

Listening to it over again

Listening to this book in the author's own voice was like listening to a friend tell intimate and heartwarming stories. and each story brought a new light to an old story.
