Who was St. Joseph? Why did Jesus want him as his foster-father? Pope Francis, declaring 2021 the Year of St. Joseph, invites everyone to "discover in Joseph-the man who goes unnoticed, a daily, quiet and hidden presence-an intercessor, a support and a guide in times of trouble." He also states that "In Joseph, Jesus saw the tender love of God." God chose St. Joseph as His favorite carpenter-and to be the man who taught Jesus how to be a carpenter. But St. Joseph never speaks a single line in all the Gospels. How to discover someone who is so quiet? 'God's Carpenter' lets us discover Mary's husband and Jesus' foster-father. The four short stories of his life St. Joseph as he was: simple and down-to-earth, genuinely in love with Mary and the man who adopted Jesus as his son. They bring us into his life, and invite us into the heart of the Holy Family.
