PREFACE TO VOLUME IV.
CONTENTS
PART I.
Chapter I.—JOHN THE BAPTIST BORN.
Chapter II.—BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST.
Chapter III.—FLIGHT INTO EGYPT.
Chapter IV.—THE INNOCENTS.
This volume offers a clear, concise walk through the earthly life of Jesus, highlighting the moments the author feels most essential for a reverent study. Rather than a line‑by‑line retelling of every miracle or parable, each chapter sketches a key event—from his birth and baptism to his teachings, the Passion, and the early spread of his message. The tone is gentle and aimed at younger listeners, encouraging them to follow the steps of the Savior with curiosity and respect.
The book then moves beyond the Gospels, providing a brief overview of the early church and the subsequent history of the Jewish people up to the eighteenth century. Readers will encounter familiar stories such as the calling of the apostles, the miracles at Capernaum, and the trials of Paul, all presented in straightforward language. Its compact structure makes it well suited for an audio format, allowing listeners to absorb the narrative in short, focused segments.
