This Book Is A Keeper!
Many of the great spiritual writers suggest we place
ourselves in the Scriptural passages we read as if we were actual eyewitnesses
to the events being discussed. Author, Dennis P. McGeehan, has followed that
advice but with a unique twist – he shares with us the fruits of his study and contemplation
on the lives of Mary, Joseph and Jesus through entries of a fictitious diary he
envisioned Mary and Joseph wrote. He
uses not only his fertile imagination but the insight shared by saints, mystics
and Doctors of our Church to “fill in” what was left out of the recorded words
in Scripture.
While the book is a little unpolished around some of its
edges, its substance is golden – a treasure trove of immense spiritual wealth. I
thoroughly enjoyed Dennis’ effort and hope he follows through on a promised
sequel. This is a book one will use over and over. It has enhanced my
understanding of the Scripture the author pondered and challenged me toward a
greater appreciation for St. Joseph.
This is a book you will want to pull off your shelf
regularly. No chance of it collecting dust.
