A Treasury of Wisdom: The Words of Jesus is a small. beautiful, seventy-five page hard cover book which uses classic paintings of Christ to illustrate His life and words. It is a book to be enjoyed and prayed over, while meditatively studying the paintings and meditating on the text. The artists and paintings are cataloged in the back of the book which also includes an index of the first words of the quotations which the book features. Both of these supplements easily enable the reader to find select art work and sayings. A particularly nice touch is the gold ribbon which the reader can use to mark one's place while reading.

The reader will appreciate this book because it contains no words but Christ's own. In this sense, His words are not being filtered through a second party before coming to the reader. The Holy Spirit is the One Who will make known to the reader the meaning of Christ's teachings. Thus, the book is a true aid to contemplative prayer. To sit down with this book, before the Blessed Sacrament or in a quite, candle-lit nook at home, and to open it, read, meditate, and pray will lead the soul into a deeper understanding of Christ's message. Exquisite paintings by such masters as Caravaggio, Correggio, Rubens, Raphael,  Millet, Botticelli, Michelangelo, and many others enhance the prayer. Because the book is hard cover and only 5 x 8 inches big, it slips easily into a handbag or coat pocket. The book makes a treasured and beautiful gift for oneself or for a dear friend or family member.
