Review # 1 was written on 2009-08-16 00:00:00 Trevor Bates I didn't like this book as much as the previous 4. She lost me at the beginning when she had 2 mary's in the same family... I mean really, 2 sisters both named Mary. The whole book was far too protestant for me. I would have only given it one star except it did do something good for me... i'm now more convinced that Mary did not have any other children after Jesus. My faith teaches that Mary was ever Virgin which I accepted in faith, but now my head is in full agreement with my heart. I thought the way Anne Rice depicted the Holy Family in her Christ the Lord books rang more true. How could a mother help but compare her earthly children to a divine one... I do not believe God would put Mary in such a situation where that sin would be a constant threat. I didn't care for the depiction of Mary in general either.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-10-07 00:00:00 Lance Lafleur I really liked this book. I love reading fictional books that fill in what real people of the Bible's lives may have been like. I had never read one on Mary or Jesus as a child, and their family life. I thought the Author did an excellent job. She made Mary the mother of Jesus in this book very real, not perfect. I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like for Mary in the good times and the bad watching Jesus grow up and all the things that happened to Him. The difference she could see in Jesus and her other children. What kind of man Joseph must have been (i loved the parts about Joseph). Very thought provoking book!
