It is all too easy for the events and parables in the Gospel stories to lose immediacy and the knife-edge transforming quality that they have had for generations of Christians. In a very real sense we have to be reawakened to their truth and power. In this new work, Thomas Keating examines key events in the ministry of Jesus, the important parables that were recorded, and the many celebrations of his presence. For each of these meditations, the author's purpose is to show the importance of these long-ago events for the reader today. This book is a valuable and inspiring companion for the journey.
