Drawn Into the Mystery of Jesus

Through the Gospel of John

En savoir plus sur le livre

The Mystery of Jesus presists, as countless magazine articles, television documentaries and scholarly controversies show. But the mystery is based on more than bones, inscriptions and Hollywood movies. It is based on the life lived and the message taught by Jesus. It is time to return to that life and and message with new eyes, guided by a modern man who has tried to live a life inspired by Jesus. The Gospel of John has been Jean Vanier's favourite, dating back to the uncertainty and confusion he felt in his early years. Now 75, Vanier continues to draw insight and strength from this Gospel as he has forged a way of life and a community, striving to put into practice the teachings of Jesus. Over the years, Vanier's understanding of John's Gospel and of the mystery of Jesus have deepened. In this new book, his meditative prose will help draw readers into the mystery of Jesus by bringing his experiences in touch with ours, making us see what human dilemmas we have all faced and how the offer of Jesus's love and acceptance remains His offer to each of us today. There are signs of hope today, even as the world faces new dangers. More than ever, there is a consciousness of the importance of each and every human being. All who share that conviction will gain strength and insight from this profound and honest book.
