Mary, the mother of Jesus; Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus; and Mary Magdalene all feature prominently in the gospel narrative. But what can Christians learn from the faith displayed by these women?
• Reflective and vivid portrayals of three remarkable women. Perhaps too often known only at the surface-level, ‘the three Marys’ are brought into sharp focus by Alexander Moody Stuart. • An in-depth character analysis of these Godly women. In these moving and engaging chapters, the author draws out their characters and helps readers learn from each one’s relationship to Jesus. • Valuable application for all Christians. This book impresses upon the reader that ‘the three Marys’ have much to teach all believers, men and women, about the faithful Christian life.
Moody Stuart’s preaching and teaching were marked by a keen sensitivity to the human condition and its needs, combined with challenging practical application. This, linked with a deep tenderness and love, well-qualified him to write The Three Marys .
This book was a disappointment. I have had it on my shelf for many years and finally took it down to read. I kept thinking I was reading the authors opinions and not necessarily how scripture portrayed these women. I very seldom if ever give a book 3 stars. I just didn't care for this book at all, but wanted to.
