4.0 out of 5 stars a peaceful journey, December 8, 2000

By

This review is from: Joseph Remembered: The Father of Jesus (Paperback)

Father Kleba leads you on a peaceful and reflective journey as he describes the life of the father of Jesus. How often do we spend time reflecting on what it must be like to parent the Christ-child? He gently weaves values related to Christian parenting and marriage into this well written little book. Be prepared for some of the license he takes in describing the relationships in this Holy Family. His ideas are taken from his many experiences helping Christian families be the best they can be.An easy and comforting read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Joseph Remembered, June 8, 2001

This review is from: Joseph Remembered: The Father of Jesus (Paperback)

I am very thankful I bought your book Sunday at the picnic. I read it in one sitting. Once I started, I couldn't put it down. It was wonderful! The way you told the story, I actually felt like I was there with The Holy Family. Reading bits and pieces of the Bible doesn't bring you to how it must have been during Jesus' life as a child and the loving, caring, and gentleness in Joseph as a parent and husband. You really brought them to life for me. Thank you,

5.0 out of 5 stars Joseph - A Role Model That Can Change The World!, May 20, 2001

By 

Orville Moore (O'Fallon, Missouri) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Joseph Remembered: The Father of Jesus (Paperback)

There's good news and bad news. The bad news is that this book wasn't written years ago. The goods news is that we're finally presented a role model that can inspire and strengthen the family. The book opens a window to a view on the holy family (Joseph in particular) that has never before been presented. Joseph's relationship with Jesus is as human (and as applicable) as any father and son in today's world.

While other readers will likely be inspired, I can't help but believe this book was written just for me. As the father of two boys, I expect "Joseph Remembered" will serve as a benchmark, recipe and beautiful reminder on the importance of my role within our family. Would you like the change the world or perhaps leave it just a little better place than it was before? I can't think of a better way than to become the best father (role model)possible. "Joseph Remembered" is the blueprint and the perfect Father's Day gift. I intend to keep giving it year after year. You should too!
