John HibbertPaperback 2009-02-05
Publisher Description
Travel back 2000 years and engage the life-story of the most renowned woman of history. Feel the romance and the heart-break of a love affair which was sacrificed to a teenager's love for the God of her people. Walk the green slopes of the hills around Nazareth and taste and smell the filthy animal house where a woman gave birth to her child. Stand with a mother as she watched the brutal murder of her son and flee with her as she escapes the persecution of the early church. Visit ancient Ephesus and its wanton immoral worship of Diana. Lie with Mary on the grassy meadow outside her mountain home as she dies alone...This book reveals both the godliness and the humanity of Mary the mother of Jesus, the amazing love-story which was her relationship with Joseph, and the horrendous price she paid for being who she was. You will experience the fear gendered by her perpetual struggle with "the dragon", you will weep with sorrow and you will weep with joy, but you will most certainly not be able to put down this evocative page-turner of a story.
