If I could I would give this book 3.5 stars. I liked it but I've never been one to feel completely comfortable with Christ being portrayed in a book like this. On one hand it seems to be a little blasphemous to speculate on what He may have said that is not recorded in the scriptures but on the other hand it can help me feel a little closer to knowing Him as a person who lived and walked on the earth. I struggle with this issue. At least I can sense that Francine Rivers wrote this with the i...more

A cousin sent this book to me. It's the story of Mary, Jesus' mother. Although I read it less than a year ago, I can't seem to remember anything outstanding about the book or the writing. I believe I was supposed to feel more firm in my faith after reading about the long row that Mary had to hoe...or something like that. But never having been directly addressed by angels or bearing the Christ child, I found it a bit hard to feel any authentic empathy for Mary's fairly specialized predicament...more

There are five books (more like novella's) in this series that are based on the lives of the five women in the lineage of Jesus. They don't have to be read in order, but it may make more sense if you do. I found them enjoyable; and had to remind myself that they are Francine River's take on the little bit of scripture we have on these women. They do give you some insight as to the culture and customs of the day.

I can say that anything written by Francine Rivers (after she became a christian) is a wonderful read. Her biblical & hystorical accuracy is awesome & brings stories that we all have heard before to life.

I read this series in about a month - It had been a series of books I'd gotten from freecycle. Nice stories that really give a biblical, but fictional perspective of historical women of the Bible.

Really enjoyed this whole set of books. Takes the life of a woman in the bible and makes it into a story based on the biblical time, rules etc...

Loved it! Really good! The only thing...she made Mary appear really unsympathetic to Jesus' mission at first. Maybe Francine's right...I dunno.

I learned a lot about Mary and it made me think about what her life might have been like to be the mother of Jesus.

Not my favorite, but a neat perspective on the story of Mary and Jesus. I really recommend the others.
