The person of Jesus-and our need to encounter him personally-is the common thread through all that Pope Benedict XVI has written and taught. As he once urged young people, "Open, open wide the doors to Christ-and you will find true life."
In this book, popular Catholic writer Amy Welborn highlights the many ways in which the pope is inviting his listeners, both inside and outside the church, to discover the saving, healing, life-giving love of Jesus. As we listen with open minds and hearts to Pope Benedict's persistent and heartfelt invitation, we will be inspired to put friendship with Jesus at the center of our lives. And as the pope shows us, we can encounter Jesus in ourselves, in Scripture, in the liturgy, in prayer, and in everyday life.
~ A popular guide to Pope Benedict's pastoral teachings.
~ An enlightening framework for growing in faith and drawing closer to Jesus.
