In A Friendly Guide to Jesus, Andrew Hamilton SJ explores the enduring questions at the heart of Christian faith: not only who Jesus was, but who he is for us today. What does it mean to follow him? How does faith shape what truly matters – and how might we live with purpose and even joy as his disciples?
Blending reflection with story, artwork, maps, charts, Scripture guides and helpful summary boxes, this engaging volume offers a practical companion for those seeking deeper meaning.
Ideal for students and teachers, parish groups, RCIA participants and all inquirers, this guide opens fresh pathways into understanding the life and mission of Jesus.
Featuring striking paintings of contemporary Australian urban and wilderness landscapes by Jan Hynes, the book offers a vivid visual reimagining of the Gospel story. Her reflections on each work enrich the text, inviting readers to encounter Jesus anew within their own context.
