Mary, Chosen of God
Review “This portrayal of Mary, mother of the Messiah, takes you inside her head and heart, allowing you to breathe the air of Hebrew family, food, and worship. Her much-repeated prayer, O God who sees me , may well become your own. True to the scriptural account, this story puts flesh on the bones of history. Yeshua lives !” —Eleanor Gustafson, Author, The Stones“Diana Wallis Taylor takes the reader into the everyday life of Mary, the mother of Jesus. We experience the wonder, the hardships, and the heartache right along with her. I love how close to Scripture this narrative is! As well as historically accurate. I’ve done a lot of research of the Roman era, and this novel’s depiction of the society, the settings, and the interactions are true to reality, as best we can recreate it. This is truly a book readers will have a hard time putting down.” —Lena Nelson Dooley, ECPA and CBA bestselling and multi-award-winning author, The Gold Digger and A Heart’s Gift About the Author Diana Wallis Taylor was first published at age twelve, when she sold a poem to a church newsletter.
