UNAFRAID

UNAFRAID, sixth in the Lineage of Grace series, tells the story of Jesus's life from His mother's perspective. Anita Lustrea speaks in soft tones when she details Mary's awe at being chosen to give birth to the Christ child. Although Lustrea portrays Mary with humility, her motherly pride is revealed when she shows baby Jesus to the Shepherds. Lustrea's sensitive portrayal of the prophet Simeon's prophesy over Jesus at the temple brings tears. Without misrepresenting Scripture, Rivers gives a glimpse of what Mary's life as a mother might have been like. This fascinating story gives greater depth to the story of Jesus. G.D.W.
