Nothing new here for me, but rather a reminder of everything I read and was taught in Catholic school as a child. It was interesting to see how familiar all the parables Jesus taught were in my mind.

This was written a little more in the form of a story and made Jesus a little more down to earth with biblical content still strong. It made Jesus a little more "human" to me

Very good. Reads in the form of a novel with imaginative reflection and researched narrative.
Scripture passages included, along with insightful excerpts from Pope Francis's homilies.

Si tratta essenzialmente di un copia-incolla del Vangelo e di alcune omelie di Papa Francesco con l’aggiunta di narrazioni, da parte dell’autore, contenenti personaggi/eventi non presenti del Testo Sacro.
Ho trovato che fosse una sorta di parafrasi del Vangelo, di cui potevamo fare a meno, a maggior ragione in considerazione e del costo elevato (l’ho pagato 17€).

La vita di Gesù per chi non ha voglia di leggere direttamente i vangeli. Scritta bene e accessibile a tutti, impreziosita anche con degli incisi di papa Francesco che danno un'interpretazione dottrinale ad alcuni passaggi.

Leitura fácil e acessível. Ligação direta com os evangelhos.
