A revised, special edition of Emmaus – the gracious visit of God. A best-selling classic which has had 4 reprints, and was originally published by Dominican Publications. Following the death of Jesus in Jerusalem, two disappointed disciples leave the city of lost hopes and head away. They meet a mysterious stranger who helps them reinterpret the past in a new light, giving them fresh hope. For many people, the story of Emmaus is the most moving of the resurrection narratives, and Denis McBride’s reflections uncover the depth and beauty of Luke’s unique scene. The story gives Christians a perfect reminder of coming to know Jesus as Lord in the Eucharist.
If you pick up this book, be prepared to be stretched and challenged, as the author will take you out of your depth, and both broaden and deepen your understanding of your own meeting with the Risen Lord Jesus on your own Emmaus journey, and your waiting for the empowering of the Holy Spirit, so that you become a better “missionary disciple”, bringing the joy of the Gospel to others.
