Fulfilling and soul-stirring, this book brings to Christian spirituality a literary perspective cultivated through thirty years of teaching on the part of the author. He is neither a theologian nor an exegete but he brings to life the results of many years of reading and research into the life of the gospels through the concept of simplicity, an idea much respected by Christ the Teacher. Simplicity becomes a foil to the entanglements of those who wish to obstruct or deny the "good news." The theme of simplicity strikes at the very core of the gospels and resonates well with the entire message that Christ wishes to convey, belief in him as the Son of God and trust in the love he models. The good news of Jesus Christ is for all ages and for all peoples whose trust in God is couched in simplicity.
