Continuing with the Year of St. Joseph, I saw this title on the Magnificat website and picked it up. It was a good premise, but not my style.

Fabrice Hadjadj is a French philosopher, father of nine, and regarded as one of the great modern Catholic thinkers. He is also a poet. He grew up Jewish, so his encyclopedic knowledge of Scripture comes through is this book. The end product ends up as a poetic exegesis of St. Joseph.

I found the flow and format hard to follow. It was a quick read, but I only gleaned a few insights. Perhaps that’s just enough, though. All told, I won’t be picking up another title by Hadjadj.

Would I recommend: NO
