Reflections from a Pondering Heart

My father asked me to keep the strangest parts of this story to myself, but I’ve always worked my thoughts out better when I put them on parchment. So, this journey begins the day an angel informed me I would have a baby - before I was even married. From making goat cheese to disappearing for three months, I traveled further in the next few years than I had in the 14 years before them. But my spiritual pilgrimage was only the beginning.

“You’ll call him Jesus,” Yahweh’s messenger told me. And the old man in the temple let me know a sword would pierce me with many sorrows. Jesus was only the first of four sons I would mother, but his life changed us all. For the better? But not without conflict.

Brought to Life

This is an excellent retelling from Mary - a mother's point of view. The narration of the audible story brought the story to life so vividly! I was transported to the time of Jesus and could see the rooms, dusty roads and garments they wore. Great imagery by Author Sharon Hughson Very well written and engaging. I highly recommend both the written book and the audible version!
