When Jesus Speaks - Hardcover

by Susan Joy Bellavance (Author)

Imagine the thrill and wonder in the hearts of children as they witness the divine power of Jesus -- in the astonished leper, his rags falling to the ground as he touches his smooth face; in the deaf man turning his head toward birdsong; in the bent, crippled woman unfurling to full stature, rejoicing!

Through the stirring illustrations of Byron Hamilton and the searing simplicity of author Susan Joy Bellavance, When Jesus Speaks convinces each heart that the divine power of Jesus' word is real, commanding wind and waves, life and death, and then applies that reality to the mystery of the Eucharist.

When Jesus Speaks recalls centuries of the Church's faithfulness to the Lord truly present in the Holy Eucharist, generation after generation, Mass after Mass, to this very day.
