"A study of the history and meaning of personal devotion to Jesus Christ for Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Christians.
The devotional life of Christians over the two millenia since Christ, has always been in motion; growing and changing in response to new challenges to the Church. The core of the authentic Christian life has not changed though, and remains the same today as it was in the time of the Church Fathers: A trusting and personal encounter with Christ.
In this his latest and sure to be one of his greatest books, Father Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R., presents an exhaustive survey of the development and trials of Christian devotion from the days of the Roman Martyrs until the 20th century. Going through the centuries, and through sadly divided branches of Christianity, he finds a common experience among Christians-something that many deny among themselves.
Father Groeschel shows how personal devotion is more important than a theological understanding of Christ. He began this book on pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and it is the result of years of preparation and the authors whole life of guiding people as a priest, psychologist, public preacher and spiritual director.
This book will help any sincere Christian gain a comprehensive view of how pious Christians lived over the centuries, and how to develop our own personal devotion to Jesus Christ through their examples and perspective.
