I found this book to be very useful in enabling me to visualise what the life of Jesus must have been like. It allowed me to put things in perspective and meditate more effectively on various stories. (

An excellent resource for anyone wanting to understand the time, country, culture and society that Jesus lived in. Daniel-Rops did an excellent job explaining and expounding on the many cultural quirks of the time. (
