In a narrative of beauty and power, Abbe Constant Fouard makes real and immediate the moving events of Christ's earthly life. From His humble birth and childhood, through the years of His ministry, to His passion and resurrection - all these happenings are recounted with marvelous clarity and related to other historical events of the time.

The author describes the daily life of the people of Judea and brings vividly alive all those close to Jesus - His mother, Mary, His faithful disciples - as well as the many persons whose lives were transformed by the power of His teachings and the awesome drama of the miracles He performed.

The reader will find here an affirmation of the living Faith which is as real and sustaining today as when Christ walked upon this earth.
