Saint Joseph: His Life and His Role in the Church Today. By Louise Bourassa Perrotta. Huntington, IN: Our Sunday Visitor Books, 2000. Pp. 240. Paper. $11.95.
What can you say about a man who is mentioned only a handful of times in Scripture, and then only as a supporting actor in the drama featuring Jesus and Mary? Much more than myth and legend would have you believe.
Now, the real Joseph of Nazareth emerges from behind the fanciful tales that have dominated many earlier works. This is not a pallid icon, gazing at a lily, but a rugged, flesh-and-blood contractor deeply in love with his wife, passionately devoted to his Son, skilled at his work, and completely dedicated to God's will. In this book you will encounter a man who struggled with the ordinary but was chosen to celebrate the extraordinary.
