This is another book in the Jerusalem Road line. This is about Mary, the mother of Jesus, after Jesus' death and resurrection. Once again, Ms. Hunt hit it out of the ballpark. This is a riveting story of life in the early church (ecclesia). Mary has recruited Matthew (the Apostle) to help her write her memoirs. She is ill and it is a grueling task but she is determined to get her memories on papyrus before she passes on. Matthew is wanting to be about the business of spreading the Gospel, but the Holy Spirit compels him to do it in this way instead of the way he is accustomed to doing it. This is so interesting and makes the scripture come alive. Yes, it is a work of fiction, but it is factual in all the important details. I have always been a fan of Angela Hunt and will continue to read everything she writes as soon as it is published.
I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
