What Scripture never told you

There's a reason the Gospels didn't include all details from the life of Christ. Because early Gospel readers were familiar with the Holy Land, details particular to the time and place of Christ were omitted and lost to history. Those details were carefully recovered by Fr. Sertillanges, a celebrated priest who spent years walking the Holy Land while meditating on Scripture. Now he presents his discoveries in this fascinating book, bringing  vividly to life those Gospel stories you've heard so many times. In a style that has won praise and admiration, Fr. Sertillanges masterfully unites the familiar stories of the Gospels to the peculiar circumstances and geographical surroundings of Christ's life. These stories, combined with his lyrical descriptions of the Holy Land, bring to life those secret and holy places sanctified by our Lord.   If you read Scripture regularly, these pages will open your eyes in ways no other resource can. So take up these pages, and let these reflections deepen your mediations on the life of Christ. You'll soon find your faith growing stronger, your meditations richer, and your prayers more fervent and more frequent.   33 Years in the Holy Land What Jesus Saw from Bethlehem to Golgotha by Fr. A.

Indeed, countless SAINTS have gone on pilgrimage to another holy place. . . And over 45 POPES have sanctioned it. Now you, too, can come to know the house of the Virgin Mary . . . . . . where tradition tells us Mary herself was born . . . . . . and where Jesus became flesh and spent his first twelve years. * Here is the comprehensive tale of the Holy House in Nazareth, its complete history, from construction to its miraculous transport to Loreto, Italy, in the late 1200s. You'll read about: Its veneration in Nazareth before it mysteriously disappeared, leaving only its foundation.   Its sudden, miraculous appearance on a hillside in Italy, dismaying local residents.   How amazed Italians used exacting detective skills in Italy and later in Palestine to discover where the house had come from.   How believers have venerated Our Lady of Loreto and revered her Holy House for over 700 years now.   The 15th Century erection of a magnificent basilica over the humble Holy House, and the 16th century enclosing of the fragile structure in a grand marble encasement.   The cure in the Holy House of two Popes in succession (and the many other miracles witnessed here). Believers will be thrilled and consoled by the evidence presented in these pages. Skeptics will have their doubts tempered and come to see that this Holy House is a miraculous dwelling and testament to the loving power of God.
