Did Mary keep a journal? We know she kept one in her heart, but what if she had only written her account of the activities of her son's ministry? What insights might we gain through her conversations with the weary travelers who stopped at the carpentry shop to discuss Jesus' actions? Through Mary's conversations with the people who received some of these miracles, we are given a new point of view of the environment at that time, and the background of the people involved. Were the scribes and Pharisees, and even Jesus' brothers, justified in their condemnation of Jesus' teaching? Did Mary ever doubt her son's actions even though she knew He was conceived by the Holy Spirit? Her journal entries provide possible answers to questions often asked of Jesus' ministry. Mary even introduces a few new miracles that were not included in the scriptures. As John tells us in 21:25, "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written." This heartwarming rendition of Jesus' ministry through the eyes of His mother provides a fresh perspective to some very old stories.

Dr. Joice Christine Bailey Lewis wrote My Ancestral Voices at the age of seventy-four. She tells stories about people and events that occurred in the Alabama community where her ancestors lived for five generations. Dr. Lewis uses autobiographies and biographies to describe events by details and dialogue that are either true, assumed, or plausible. Dr. Lewis, a member of the fifth generation, tells how she drew strength from the historical accounts of survival of people through slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, racial segregation, educational inequality, sharecropping, the civil rights movement, the Second World War, Northern and Western Diaspora, and her ancestors beating great odds to succeed in landowning and community development and in fields of medicine, law, education, and business. The Holly Springs Missionary Baptist Church was erected by the first generation of ancestors who were all freed slaves. It is still in service to the community of Romulus (Ralph) Alabama. The church stands as a monument to its members, who rose up from slavery to create a lasting legacy of hope, love, and family.
