There's more to Mary than the carols we sing and the stories we tell at Christmas. James A. Harnish draws on Scripture, tradition, and contemporary experience to explore the surprising claim that the same Christ who was born into the world through Mary can be born into the world again through us. This invites you to live into Mary's story right now! As you follow her from the day Gabriel invited her to bear the Son of God to the birth of the church on Pentecost, it will help you become a follower of Jesus who brings hope and healing to a broken world. Through Mary's story, you will discover that Christian life is not only about how you can be "born again" but about how Christ can be "born again" through you.
