By François Mauriac

The Life of Jesus is Nobel Prize-winning author François Mauriac’s character study of Jesus Christ. Pairing the solid foundation of Scripture with his distinctive visceral style, Mauriac leads the reader through Christ’s early years, his public ministry and miracles, and his passion, death, and resurrection. The episodic structure of the book makes it a powerful aid for meditation, especially during Holy Week.
