We hear a lot about what Jesus said. But what did he do? How did he live? During the days of his ministry, how did he care for his own body, heart, mind, and soul?

In this compelling book, Mary Jane Gorman looks behind and between the words of Jesus to discover his humanity, painting a vivid portrait of the life he called us all to live.

  2. Tending the Heart--anger, grief, compassion, passion, priorities, relationships
  3. Tending the Mind--exercise, rest, wit, reflection, openness
  4. Tending the Soul--nature, wilderness, forgiveness, prayer, obedience
