Synopsis

The story of Mary, book five in the popular Lineage of Grace series by the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and A Voice in the Wind

All eternity had been waiting for this moment. God chose one woman.

Meet Mary, one of the most revered women in history. But first, she was an ordinary woman striving to please God in the same way that women still do today. When God spoke, Mary responded in simple obedience. And God chose her to bear the long-awaited Messiah. She couldn’t know that raising the perfect son would break her heart and change the world forever.

This novella includes an in-depth Bible study, perfect for personal reflection or group discussion.

“Readers will find this book worth reading more than once, and definitely a great gift idea.” Romantic Times

About this title

About the Author:

Francine Rivers began her literary career at the University of Nevada, Reno, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and journalism. From 1976 to 1985, she had a successful writing career in the general market, and her books were highly acclaimed by readers and reviewers. Although raised in a religious home, Francine did not truly encounter Christ until later in life, when she was already a wife, a mother of three, and an established romance novelist.

Francine and her husband, Rick, live in Northern California and enjoy the time spent with their three grown children and every opportunity to spoil their grandchildren.

From AudioFile:

UNAFRAID, sixth in the Lineage of Grace series, tells the story of Jesus's life from His mother's perspective. Anita Lustrea speaks in soft tones when she details Mary's awe at being chosen to give birth to the Christ child. Although Lustrea portrays Mary with humility, her motherly pride is revealed when she shows baby Jesus to the Shepherds. Lustrea's sensitive portrayal of the prophet Simeon's prophesy over Jesus at the temple brings tears. Without misrepresenting Scripture, Rivers gives a glimpse of what Mary's life as a mother might have been like. This fascinating story gives greater depth to the story of Jesus.
