The book
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Mt 28:19-20).

These are the words with which Jesus condensed the mandate entrusted to the entire Church: to make disciples, to baptize, and to teach. His first phrase addresses the essence of Christianity: following Christ. On this journey, Jesus is both the destination and the path: Jesus is before us, waiting for us, but he is also beside us, leading us by the hand along the way. The second expression, baptize, emphasizes the personal relationship (faith) that each of us is called to establish with Jesus. The third verb, teach, refers to the values ​​that the person of Jesus and his kingdom offer believers.

This small volume has precisely these two important goals: to introduce you to Jesus through the stories of the Bible and to convince you of the values ​​of his kingdom. A useful resource for both personal and group Bible study. Enjoy your journey!
