Enter the conversation behind the book.
The conversation slows beside the Gospels. Jesus is not reduced to a principle at the beginning of a lesson or a method that can be mastered from a distance. The reader is invited to remain near enough to watch how He sees, listens, discerns, loves, walks, and prepares others.
