What if children could follow the life of Our Lord not simply as a succession of Gospel stories, but as a journey through the very places where those events unfolded?
In this innovative series of three Catholic readers, Sister James Stanislaus arranges the events of Jesus' public ministry into ten journeys, beginning when He leaves Nazareth to begin His public mission, and culminating in His final journey to Jerusalem, His Passion, Death, and glorious Resurrection.
Following His footsteps through Galilee, Judea, Samaria, and the surrounding regions, young readers discover how the familiar events of the Gospels fit together in time and place. The narratives draw upon the language of Scripture, enriched by descriptions of the Holy Land that help make the setting of each event more real.
In Book One, we accompany Our Lord from His Baptism and the calling of His first disciples through the beginnings of His public ministry. Book Two follows His widening journeys and teachings as His final journey to Jerusalem draws near. Finally, Book Three brings us to Jerusalem, where the last and greatest journey leads through Calvary to the glory of the Resurrection.
Originally published in 1927–1928, these beautifully illustrated readers include maps, questions for study, and Biblical glossaries with pronunciations and explanations of unfamiliar names and places. The black-and-white illustrations, modeled after the work of Alexandre Bida (who spent many years studying in the Holy Land), give further life to the Gospel scenes.
