St. Joseph and His World

A brilliant, succinct book addressing a broad audience including scholars,clergy or those who just wish for a spiritual retreat with Joseph and the Holy Family. Fascinating details discuss the historical background, the Jewish tradition and the very human elements of the work of a carpenter in the context of the Foster Father-son of God relationship between Jesus and Joseph.This is the very right spiritual and historical book to celebrate the year dedicated to St Joseph. As a permanent deacon I highly recommend this book for group reflection, home groups or retreats.

Great background to St Joseph, leading beautifully into a deeper discovery of the man so important in our story of salvation. St Joseph, pray for us
