A timeless tale of faith, love and divine purpose, now in a beautifully presented edition by Gaby J. Haddad.
The Book According to James presents one of the most cherished writings of early Christianity, the Infancy Gospel of James. Treasured by believers since the second century, it tells the story that comes before the Gospels: the family, childhood and calling of the Virgin Mary.
The story begins with Joachim and Anna, a faithful couple grieving their childlessness, whose prayers are answered with the wondrous birth of their daughter, Mary. It follows her childhood in the Temple, the choosing of Joseph by the sign of a dove, and the holy night in a cave near Bethlehem when all creation stood still.
Gaby J. Haddad presents this ancient text with historical insight and devotional reflection, making it clear and accessible for new readers and seasoned Christians alike. It is an invitation to discover a story that has shaped Christian tradition, art and devotion for centuries, and to see God's faithfulness at work in an ordinary family.
A timeless tale of faith, love and divine purpose.
