The 'Something' about Mary

Klappentext

Luke 1:26-56 tells the story of the announcement to the Virgin Mary of the birth of Jesus. Ford identifies and examines a pattern of six truths in Mary's response, a model for how believers should implement a God-given task that seems utterly impossible. - Accept God's Blessing of Favor - Ask the Right Question - Take Encouragement From What God is Doing for Others Now - Seize the Opportunity - Go on Vacation - Make God Bigger Each chapter begins with a biographical slice of Mary's life-not fictionalized per se, but intelligently extrapolated from Scriptural roots. Ford's eloquently casual prose presents Mary as a very young and vulnerable girl who received the most wonderful news in history. Being Mary, an unmarried, pregnant teenaged girl, could have been a death sentence during that time of Levitical law. In her faith and humility, with a spirit of praise, Mary chose to let go and let God.
