Christianity is not about doing good, or producing nicer people with better morals. It is not about prayer and fasting. Christianity is about a person, Jesus Christ. Because he came to do and to teach, while coming as the Messenger he also became the message. ""In this is eternal life"" he prayed, ""to know you the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent"". ""No one knows the Father except the Son, and those whom the Son chooses to reveal him"". The message of Jesus is of such a nature, in its simplicity, that the intellectual and the worldly-wise can easily rubbish it as being unworthy of consideration. This book attempts to highlight that simplicity, to restate the core elements of the message, and to share some reflections on the Messenger himself. Jack McArdle is a priest of the Sacred Hearts Community in Dublin. He is the author of numerous books of spirituality.
