In this bold momentous work the Pope
- in his first book written as Benedict XVI
- seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from

...

The momentous third & final volume in the Popes international bestselling Jesus of Nazareth trilogy detailing how the stories of Jesus infancy & childhood are as relevant today as they were two thousand years ago. In 2007 Joseph Ratzinger published his first book as Pope Benedict XVI in order to make known the figure & message of Jesus. Now the Pope focuses exclusively on the Gospel accounts of Jesus life as a child. The root of these stories is the experience of hope found in the birth of Jesus & the affirmation of surrender & service embodied in his parents Joseph & Mary. This is a story of longing & seeking as demonstrated by the Magi searching for the redemption offered by the birth of a new king. It is a story of sacrifice & trusting completely in the wisdom of God as seen in the faith of Simeon the just & the devout man of Jerusalem when he is in the presence of the Christ child. Ultimately Jesus life & message is a story for today one that speaks to the restlessness of the human heart searching for the sole truth which alone leads to profound joy & freedom. This ostensibly simple message is also the most profound challenge to the individual human being at a time of unprecedented turbulence & change. There is no greater vocation for a Pope than to preach the Gospel & this is what in this book Pope Benedict has done with conviction & urgency. This new book is a masterpiece of its kind. ...
