Book Review: Two FRom Galilee



Here from Marjorie Holines, one of the most  beloved authors of our day, is the extraordinary  bestselling novel that tells the story of Mary and  Joseph as it has never been told before—the greatest  love story of all.
This is the  story of two real people whose lives were touched by  God: two people chosen by God to provide an earthly  home for His Son. Here are Mary and Joseph-a  teenage girl and a young carpenter-alone, frightened,  in love, faced with family conflict, a hostile  world and an awesome responsibility. It is a story  for young and old alike; for everyone who finds the  Christmas tale a source of timeless beauty and  wonder, a compassionate, emotional novel of divine  love.  http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/682919.Two_From_Galilee

This book, so delightfully written, puts the Story of Christ's miraculous birth into down to earth feelings and experiences from the stand point of Mary, Joseph and their families. It brings into focus the suffering and sacrifice, which they endured in order to bring to pass the mortal life of our Lord, Savior and King. They were common ordinary people who loved the Lord, just like so many of us living today. This book warms my heart even more toward them and their part in the salvation of all of the Lord's children.
