In The Likeness Of Christ

Fr. Edward Leen

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" (Jn. 14:6). Catholic Truth is not a collection of dogmas and philosophical principles, nor a series of dos and don'ts; it's a Person - Jesus Christ.

If your spiritual life is dry, an all too human effort to avoid "forbiddens" and occasionally (and usually begrudgingly) checking off a "good deed" to rack up the merit count or to make a payment on the purgatory tab, then you are missing the vivifying principle of the spiritual life - an intimate knowledge of Jesus Christ. "For this is eternal life...to know Christ Jesus" (Jn. 17:3).

Allow Fr. Leen to lead you to a greater knowledge and love of Our Lord through this collection of meditations on the life of Christ:

  • Annunciation
  • Nativity
  • Epiphany
  • Presentation in the Temple
  • Flight to Egypt
  • Hidden life of Jesus
  • Saint Joseph
  • Blessed Virgin Mary
  • Jesus' humility and tenderness
  • Holy Eucharist
  • Passion and Death
  • Resurrection
  • Pentecost
  • The Way of Peace.

Excellent

I thought I wasn't going to read any more books of spirituality and just reread the numerous gems I had in my library. But my brother offered it to me for Christmas... And it seems that I needed one more gem! It is incredibly well written first of all. And the insights on Our Lord and our spiritual lives are truly extraordinary. Thoroughly recommended.

A true gem

I first discovered this book because another one published by Father Leen ("The true vine and its branches") had been quoted by a Priest from the Dillwyn seminary in a sermon earlier this year. Even though the books are complementary, I found "In the likeness of Christ" truly lived up to the promise of its title. It offers insights into the life of Christ and its relevance to our daily life which I hadn't read anyway else. Unlike many other spiritual authors, the concepts and guidance do not come through as unachievable or limited to those who have pursued a religious vocation. I bought a second copy for a relative this year!

This book is one of my favorite books ever!

I dare anyone to read it and not love Jesus more! Fr. Leen's love for God is on clear display here. He takes you on a meditation through the Gospels and shows you how Jesus lived. He will add clarity and detail to your lectio divina. The chapter "the Humility of Jesus" is the best explanation of humility and how to grow in the virtue. The chapter "Triumph of Failure" will encourage and set any apostolic worker on the right path. I've read this book three times and it continues to help me grow in my love and understanding of Jesus. Five Stars!!!
