I just finished the book Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration by Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger). Fr Gabriel lent it to me from his personal collection. I would highly recommend this book. He writes very elegantly, but doesn't write over your head. For example, he breaks down the Lord's prayer...each sentence and its meaning, how it became, and how to reflect on it in our lives. It is beautifully written to read cover to cover, but is also a great reference book. What does it mean to be transfigured anyway? Why does God choose mountains to speak to His people? What "daily bread" are we asking for anyway? I would highly recommend this book.
