The Three Marys
Learning from the lives of Mary Magdalene, Mary of Bethany, and Mary the mother of Jesus
This great 19th century Scottish preacher covers the life, conversion and faith of the mother of Jesus, the sister of Martha and Lazareth and Mary Magdalene. Here is biography directed to the reader's soul. Magnificent devotional reading.
Publisher's note:
Mary, the mother of Jesus; Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus; and Mary Magdalene all feature prominently in the gospel narrative. But what can Christians learn from the faith displayed by these women?
In these moving and engaging chapters, Alexander Moody Stuart draws out their characters and helps readers learn from each one’s relationship to Jesus. Perhaps too often known only at the surface-level, these three women, brought into sharper focus by Moody Stuart’s reflective and often vivid portrayals, have much to teach us about the faithful Christian life.
Moody Stuart’s preaching and teaching were marked by a keen sensitivity to the human condition and its needs, combined with challenging practical application. This, linked with a deep tenderness and love, well-qualified him to write The Three Marys.
