The Nativity Story: Contemplating Mary's Journeys

Although she is the Mother of God, Mary was a woman who experienced the full range of human emotions: amazement and confusion, fear and exhaustion, tenderness and wonder, tranquility and joy. In this inspiring book, contemporary women ponder Mary's journeys-both spiritual and physical-and contemplate her growth as a person, a woman, a wife, a mother, a child of God. Each of these authors has made a journey of faith that has been enriched or guided by Mary's example, and they show us how-through our roles and women and men, daughters and sons, wives and husbands, mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, professionals and religious-we can find in Mary both a role model and source of insight and encouragement for our own "journeys of faith." Includes photos from the movie.
