Customer Review

GIRL MARY is the re-imagining of the story of Mary and Joseph before the birth of Jesus. It is Told through the eyes of first Pontius Pilate And Then Those of Mary.

Pontius Pilate is ordered by the Emperor of Rome to be a spy in Judah. He is to find a way for Agustus To Become a deity. Pilate is fascinated by the Jewish people. He hears Their legends, and when to he finds que la tribe That Is Supposed to-have the messiah has-been banished by King Herod, he finds 'em and helps' em to come back to Nazarath.

Mary is very spiritual. She Sees and talks to God. She assertive est, qui is very unusual for a girl de ces days. This is a love story entre Mary and Joseph, with a little flirtation entre Mary and Pilate.

I liked the characterization of Mary speaking with God. She has a very human-like relationship with _him_. She bargains with _him_ to get her way, profit is respectful of the fact That He is God.

That goal be warned this is not the traditional Mary and Joseph story. It is very different. I liked how the author saw how he saw Mary and Joseph. Aussi I Learned a lot about the lives of women During Those times. In my head I can Realize That It was very hard to be a woman de ces days, drank how hard I do not think I Could ever know UNLESS I Lived it. Focused this story a lot on the life of Jewish and Some on the life of Roman women. It will open your eyes about how wretched Their Lives Were.

The details about ordinary life Throughout GIRL MARY Were extraordinary. I Could envision how hard people Worked and What They felt. I Was truly amazed, and I Feel You Would be too, if you give this book a try.
