Revered for centuries, Mary, the mother of Jesus, is often portrayed as belonging more to heaven than to earth -- loved & glorified, yet with little to remind us of her very human qualities. This vibrant narrative brings Mary startlingly close to us: the hard work she must have performed, the foods she must have prepared, the physical pain & emotional turmoil she must have felt, & the luminous faith that sustained her through the awe & anguish of witnessing the life & death of her son. Written with elegant simplicity, Portrait of Mary reminds us of the power & beauty within every woman s soul. Beautifully designed. An inspirational gift!
