THE
WOMEN OF CHRISTMAS
Liz Curtis Higgs
Liz Curtis Higgs has taken the sparse
amount of information on Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, Mary, the
mother of our Lord Jesus, and Anna, the prophetess and widow who remained at
the temple for years, and has woven into this book the real heart of these
three women.
Higgs included facts of the time and
culture for a clearer understanding of the events. Beyond the facts, the emotions and feelings
that enveloped the lives of these three women was delicately and passionately
presented in a realistic way, phrase by phrase of the Scripture.
The lives of Zechariah, Elizabeth’s
husband, Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, and Simeon were also covered with
their fears, wonder, and praise as they entered the picture of these three
women of Christmas.
This book will give you a fresh picture
of the events surrounding this period of time as you read and meditate upon the
Scripture rather than just scanning it as something you already know with great
familiarity. I received this book for
free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
