CHAPTERS of the Gospels by James H Kurt

CHAPTERS of the Gospels by James H Kurt

Much as he did in his previous work, Our Daily Bread: Exposition of the Readings of Catholic Mass, the author has sought to let Scripture speak for itself. This is again evident in extensive quoting and paraphrasing of the Word, but perhaps more significantly in his taking as guiding principle the Lord's instruction not to consider beforehand what to say when brought to bear witness to Him (see Mk.13:11).

After reading the chapters of the Gospels three times, Mr. Kurt let the Spirit direct him - writing without revision, trusting entirely in Lord. He found in the individual chapters an organic unity, a movement and meaning of their own, which, along with appropriate exhortation, he here presents for the devout reader. Each chapter is given a descriptive title, and at the end of each chapter is included a short prayer invoking its theme.

The author prays this volume will serve to shed light on the heart of all the Scriptures (C 125), the four Gospels.

James Kurt lives much as a hermit in the city Jersey City, New Jersey. He spends about six hours a day in prayer, including Catholic Mass, Liturgy of the Hours, full Rosary, Stations of the Cross, meditation on Scripture and the writings of the saints, and silent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. He works another five or six hours on his writing. A website (see back of book) contains the forty-plus Catholic Christian writings he has composed over the past twenty years. Mr. Kurt also serves as an adjunct ESL instructor one day a week at a local university to support his vocation.

The author has recently published three other books with AuthorHouse: silence in the city, a series of contemplative poems on the presence of God in all places; Songs for Children of Light Ten Albums of Lyrics, a white on black conceptual work with simple drawings for each song; and Turn of the Jubilee Year: A Conversion Song, an autobiographical prose depiction of vocation search through pilgrimage to Medugorje and stays at a hermitage or two.

He is currently preparing two other volumes for publication: YHWH: On the Divine NAME and The Cross, as well as a third The Will to Love (and other writings of the Spirit).
