Revealing that a woman's heart is important to the Father.
A very moving probe into the life of Mary - the woman God chose to be mother to Jesus.
Hickem delves into the scriptures surrounding this largely "under" studied and appreciated character of the Bible. From the angel Gabriel's visit to Mary, announcing God's plan for her, we follow her right through to the last mention of Mary in the book of Acts where she along with all the other followers of Jesus, awaited the Holy Spirit's visit.
I have to admit that, other than the annual Christmas story being brought to mind (with Mary as one of the lead players in the story), I have never really thought about the significance of this woman in scripture - as a woman and as a mother. She is important because God chose her to be the ultimate mother in the history of the world. Whilst this book's central theme is motherhood, I found many seeds of truth that can be applied to all factor's of today's woman's life. This book specifically spoke to me in the journey that I am on now -
helping me (as God does) to see with a spiritual vision how His truth
applies to all aspects of my own life.
Hickem takes us along with her through Mary's life in a profound way. She exposes scriptural truth in the spirit of Mary and how this woman translates into God's plans for women today. Accompanied by a Bible Study, probing chapter by chapter, this book is a must read for any woman, whether on the journey of motherhood or not. A well written, must read.
