For centuries, Christians have struggled to understand the nature of God as three persons in one. But with grace similar to that which allowed St. Patrick to explain the Trinity by using a shamrock, Joseph F. Girzone offers a simple, useful understanding. He begins by showing the ways God was perceived by the ancient Hebrews, and reveals how Jesus forever changed the image of God. As he chronicles the growth of Christianity from the time of Jesus and the early Church, writing about the challenges Christianity faced from both within and without, Girzone elucidates the mysterious ways the Trinity works in the world, especially in the Church, as an extension of Jesus' presence in history. Writing with passion and insight, he helps readers understand how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit work within individuals as well, guiding them as they struggle along the pathways of life on earth.

Bestselling author Joseph Girzone returns to the reflections on his personal spirituality typical of Never Alone and A Portrait of Jesus, his most popular books since the original Joshua.

With Trinity, Joseph Girzone guides readers to a deeper understanding of this foundational concept, explaining why it is not antiquated theological dogma, but a living expression of the very essence of God. He offers support and clarity to those who already believe in God, and invites those who profess not to believe on a journey to find “an image of a God who is believable, and perhaps, even lovable.”
