Meeting Jesus Christ

Book excerpt: In this spiritual companion, readers are invited to personally encounter Jesus Christ through twenty-one Scriptural meditations which unlock unique perspectives on the mysteries of his life. Revealing how the Word of God is a light for all of us, best-selling author Monsignor J. Brian Bransfield shows us how to develop a more meaningful relationship with Christ through prayer. Each chapter takes up a different Gospel account from pages of the New Testament and draws the reader into meditation. Highlighting the new in the familiar, this guide equips readers with a refreshing way to deepen their prayer life through looking for the unexpected in Scripture. Extending beyond sentimental, self-styled meditations that only focus on the self, this book focuses on Jesus in a way that opens up the mystery and beauty to our everyday lives.
