Unafraid (Lineage of Grace, 5)

Rating:
Summary: Talk about conviction ....
Review: This book will make you seriosuly look at your relationship with Jesus. You get to see him through the eyes of his mother. It made me picture my own child enduring what Jesus did, made me angry. Mary was given a place of honor that i do not envy. God knew what he was doing when he did NOT choose me.

Summary: The Story of Mary
Review: This is the final book in the Lineage of Grace Series. It must have been the most difficult one to write, as it is the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Her story is so well-known and oft-repeated that even the most casual Bible reader is familiar with it. As usual Rivers fleshes out the Biblical accounts with more emotional and everyday incidents. In this case she reached a bit further and wrote some incidents which were never recorded in the Bible but which could have happened within the context of Jesus' character. She emphasizes the maternal feelings which Mary had for Jesus, and her sadness at "losing" him to his ministry. This book does not succeed as well as the others in the series, but is a noble effort and does give the reader some food for thought about what might have been.

Summary: Mary mother of Jesus!
Review: This was a very good book and a fast reading. I never was really much into religion and to me Jesus had seem more friendly then Mary, I don't know why? Maybe it's because when I was young I saw a movie about Jesus and Mary seem to severe but in this book Mary seem like any other women and now I see her more friendly and she's the one who bring me back to believe more in God. After reading this book I became more interested also about the old and new bible. I sure understand her to feel upset and sad when Jesus said, "Who is my mother, who are my brothers?" You can very well feel Mary pain and confusion about all that. She said often, "God I am sorry to think he his my son, he his yours." I was thinking, no Mary you got every right to feel bad and upset. The book keep saying the same things, I would had put less stars but I think it deserve a 4 because it was a fast reading, you know more about Mary and she bring back my faith in god. Mary is like any other human and to me now she seem more real!
