This vibrant book describes the path of Joseph Ratzinger’s life from his birthplace in Bavaria all the way to being the first German Pope in 482 years. It is lavishly illustrated with a collection of over 150 of some of the most personal, and most surprising, photographs. These pictures show the Pope as he really is: “a humble servant in the vineyard of the Lord”. The large trim size of 8.5 x 11 makes this an excellent gift or a beautiful edition to your library.
Written by journalist Peter Seewald. After writing an unfair attack on Cardinal Ratzinger, Seewald was urged by Catholic readers to meet with the man he was maligning. He did so - and the result was two book-length interviews: Salt of the Earth and God and the World . Seewald also returned to his Catholic faith, saying that Ratzinger was the one who “taught me what it meant to swim against the stream.”

 Jesus of Nazareth

$24.95
In the beginning pages of his book Pope Benedict states that Jesus of Nazareth is "an expression of my personal search 'for the face of the Lord' (Psalm 27:8). Everyone is free, then, to contradict me. I would only ask my readers for that initial good will without which there can be no understanding."
In this inspiring well-argued, and thoughtful book Benedict sums up two thousand years of Christian insight about the person and work of Jesus Christ. Who is Jesus? "Who do men say that I am?" Jesus asked his disciples. The answer to that question is as crucial and timely today as when it was first asked two thousand years ago. Jesus Christ remains the pivotal figure of human history.
In his first major book written as Pope, Benedict XVI looks at various answers to the question of Jesus' identity. He shows in a "theological narrative" how the Christ of the Gospels, the Jesus of the Church's faith, is the genuine Jesus of history. He presents Jesus as someone we can know personally, and someone who knows and loves us. And who sacrificed himself for our salvation.

Pope Benedict says about his first encyclical: "In a world where the name of God is sometimes associated with vengeance or even a duty of hatred and violence, this message is both timely and significant. For this reason, I wish in my first Encyclical to speak of the love which God lavishes upon us and which we in turn must share with others. That, in essence, is what the two main parts of this Letter are about...I wish to emphasize some basic elements, so as to call forth in the world renewed energy and commitment in the human response to God's love."
