An Encounter with Christ

This book was recommended to me by Father Joe Arledge. It is formatted to be read the last week before Easter. So this year you would start on Friday, April 6th. You are supposed to read a chapter each day to follow in Jesus footsteps on his final week before He died on the cross.

There is also a study guide for each chapter.

Charlie Meiser gave this book to all his facilators. It is a  book about where we got the Bible. He should be credited for this recommendation. He loves it! If you want a personal opinion ask Charlie or Cathy Morrison. They have both read it several times. I have read only parts.

Note on back of book: The Bible is Catholic. In "Where We Got The Bible" Henry Graham explains how the Catholic Church compiled the sacred text, how medieval monks preserved it, and how Catholic scholars, not Protestant Reformers, first gave Christians the Bible in their own languages. Along the way Graham destroys myths about Catholic opposition to Scripture.

To his lively history of the Bible is joined his conversion story, "From the Kirk to the Catholic Church." Brought up a Calvinist in Scotland, Graham became a minister but found himself irrestibly drawn toward the Catholic faith, eventually becoming a Catholic bishop.

The late Fr. Raymond Brown is considered one of the authorities of the Holy Bible in the Catholic Church having been recognized by universities in the USA and Europe with some twenty honorary doctoral degrees. He was probably "the premier Catholic scripture scholar" in the US. Through his career of lecturing on the Bible, Raymond Brown chose 101 of the most commonly asked questions on the Bible covering a wide range of subjects. This book is a must for anyone studying and praying with the Holy Scriptures.
