About this book:
Bosetti explores the Gospel of John through the ancient tradition of lectio divina or "sacred reading." Her insightful reflections help readers engage the Word in new ways, so that it can take deeper root within them. This long-awaited volume completes Bosetti's lectio divina series on the Gospels.
With insightful reflections, scripture scholar Elena Bosetti brings a prayerful, uniquely feminine, and deeply human perspective to God's Word. The exploration of the Gospel launches us on a journey of encounter, discovery, conversion, and announcement of news so good that it must be shared.

What Are People Saying about this Title?
"Sr. Elena Bosetti offers us a fresh and refreshing reading of the Fourth Gospel... Her book provides us with a way to read the Gospel that is exegetically sound and spiritually nourishing. This small volume will enable its readers to develop a truly biblical spirituality."
--Frank J. Matera, Professor of New Testament, The Catholic University of America
"The recent Synod on the Word of God insisted on the reading and praying of the Holy Scriptures. Study leads to prayer. An old Jewish tradition considers the study of Scripture as the 'sanctification of the name of God,' and the Church continues this tradition in lectio divina..."
— Frédéric Manns, OFM, Professor of New Testament and Ancient Jewish Literature, Studium Biblicum of Jerusalem
"Sister Elena Bosetti's insights into the Word of God not only inform the mind, but they also inspire the heart. Her work is the fruit of both fine scholarship and a living relationship with the Word himself, Jesus Christ. What a marvelous combination!"
