6. Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narrative

Dominus Vobiscum, Amigos! This is the first of many Catholic Book Reviews.  Spiritual reading was a big part of my growth and discovery in the faith-I hope it is for you, too.   Today is Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narrative by Pope Benedict XVI.  It's a wonderful book about the coming of Jesus and the early part of his life. Enjoy!   Pax, The Heavenly Toast theheavenlytoast.com
