Jesus: A Gospel

Seamlessly woven from his many writings, Henri Nouwen’s Jesus: A Gospel traces the greatest story ever told from the Annunciation to the Resurrection. As editor Michael O’Laughlin notes, “Henri was a teacher, a man sent from God, and his ministry was to show people what God is doing in the world and how we might respond.”

In this beautiful book, illustrated with the drawings of Rembrandt, readers in the company of one of the great spiritual masters of our time rediscover the Gospel with new eyes.
