Star Song: Soul journey with Jesus - Couverture souple

Mary is visited by an angel who announces she’s going to be the unwed mother of God’s Son. How long does it take him to convince her? Elizabeth goes into seclusion when she becomes pregnant in her old age. Will her shyness get in the way of raising a future prophet, especially with a husband who cannot talk? Joseph’s betrayal by Mary pierces his heart like nails. Can he make it through the night without cutting up every board in his workshop the way his dreams have been cut up? Joseph struggles with those who taunt him for marrying a woman already pregnant, and his inability to even find a bed for Mary and her soon-coming baby in a strange city. The Shepherds are dirty, smelly, and the dregs of society, but angels appear to them instead of holy people worshiping in the temple at Jerusalem . Will they even know how to act around baby Jesus? Anna and Simeon live through decades of Roman slaughters right there in the temple, always looking for the Deliverer. When old and tired, will their faith hold out? The Wise Men in far-off Persia study a never-before-seen star. Will the holy books of their gods help them find its meaning before the emperor throws them into the lions’ den?
