Reflections from a Pondering Heart: Second Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781518658440)

In the beginning, I herded goats on father's farm when Jehovah's messenger visited me. He claimed "Blessed art thou among women." Blessed? The speculation about my untimely pregnancy turned to shunning and isolation. Caesar's decree forced a grueling trip to Bethlehem during my final weeks of pregnancy. And then, under cover of darkness, I fled Herod's murderous wrath. Is it any wonder I questioned the angel's claim? Yahweh blessed me with a quiver full of children. But love brings sorrow. Torn between two sons, my heart bled. Like old Simeon said, a sword pierced my soul - again and again. And the killing blow was yet to come... "I loved the story It is very powerful to think about how Mary would have really felt. It really made me stop and meditate on that for a while." - Kelli Simonds, author Seven Attitude Changing Postures of a Christian "This is an excellent fictional account of what it might have been like to walk in Mary's shoes. The author did not take any verses out of context, but simply allowed the reader to see the human side of Mary." Barbara, winner of Goodreads copy
