Whispers of Mary

What Twelve Old Testament Women Teach Us About Mary

By: Gayle Somers

Discover the echoes of Mary throughout the timeline of Scripture Throughout the history of the Bible, incredible women have played a part in the story of salvation. Steeped in Scripture, the Blessed Mother would have known and pondered the stories of these women. She might even have recognized pieces of her own story in theirs. Following the Great Adventure Bible Timeline, the same one used in The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)™ podcast, Whispers of Mary: What Twelve Old Testament Women Teach Us About Mary invites Catholics to explore Marian typology through the lives of women like Eve, Esther, and Judith. Written by Bible teacher Gayle Somers, Whispers of Mary serves as a resource for Catholics to grow in relationship with the Blessed Mother through: Stories of biblical women from each Old Testament time period of The Bible Timeline Reflection questions that provoke deep thought about how each Bible story applies to our lives Space for journaling at the end of every chapter And more! With thought-provoking commentary and hundreds of Scripture verses, Whispers of Mary deepens readers' appreciation for the story of salvation by revealing how even in the Old Testament, the lives of heroic women pointed toward Mary, and through Mary, to God. Those who've reread a favorite novel or watched yet again a beloved movie know what a delight it can be. Already knowing the ending, we notice the true significance of characters and events we previously thought little of. In these pages, Gayle Somers invites us to read the Old Testament in light of what God accomplished in and through the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is a great resource for individuals or study groups who want to approach Scripture with fresh eyes. After all, when it comes to this story, we can never be too familiar with it—for it is the story of our salvation." –Fr. Sebastian White, O.P. Editor-in-Chief, Magnificat "Years ago, I sat riveted to my folding chair in our parish hall as Gayle brought to life the women of the Bible, full of vibrancy and color—making them real and relatable and endearing. I’m overjoyed that her wisdom and deep insight is now in my hands, able to be gleaned and savored again and again. Whispers of Mary will transport readers into the sweeping story of salvation history and allow them to recognize within it not only Our Lady, not only her types in Scripture, but—marvelously!—even themselves." —Claire Dwyer Author of This Present Paradise: A Spiritual Journey with St Elizabeth of the Trinity and Co-founder of Write These Words.com "Whispers of Mary is an elegant and insightful read. Somers’ writing is utterly engaging and reflects an infectious love of scripture and of Our Lady." –Noelle Mering Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of Awake, Not Woke and the Theology of Home books series. "As a young girl I loved reading the stories of women from the Old Testament, enjoying the isolated tales of these bold and complicated foremothers in their own right. But no one taught me to see the connecting threads between them, threads that are woven into the fabric of salvation history itself, reaching a culmination in the figure of Mary. This masterful study reveals those connections by unveiling the biblical art of typology—the signs and “whispers” of the new covenant that are hidden in the old, and which take on new life and meaning through the light of the Incarnation. The stories of these women are each part of God’s unfolding self-revelation, from the distant era of the patriarchs to the descent of the Spirit at Pentecost. Whispers of Mary invites us to rediscover, in all its richness and complexity, the feminine genealogy of our faith." –Abigail Favale professor at the University of Notre Dame and author, The Genesis of Gender: A Christian Theory and Into the Deep: An Unlikely Catholic Conversion

Hookers, Midgets, and Fire Trucks

An Invitation to Our Party

By: Linda Gayle Thompson

How often do you rock through life thinking everything is grand, and then out of nowhere, smack, you get hit hard? How do you make it through the bad stuff the really bad stuff ? In her memoir, Hookers, Midgets, and Fire Trucks: An Invitation to Our Party, Linda Gayle Thompson shares how laughing, loving, crying, and honest-to-God begging for answers got her through the absurdity of life, which she equates to a party. Lindas honest connection with people and her ability to blend zany real-life humor with her passion to motivate others causes the lives she touches to be changed forever. Through the toughest times of her life, Linda discovered her guardian angels and overcame overwhelming grief and depression. Based on the information she has learned, she believes we truly are eternal. Linda grew up as an insecure child, not realizing her own inner strength until she married her own personal quadriplegic Don Quixote and became his sole caregiver. Thompson shares how absurd humor, tenacious spirit, and guardian angels carried her through a lifetime of one catastrophic blow after another. Hilarious, freakish anecdotes woven together with tragic, real-life experiences and lessons learned from both produce a magical blend of inspiration, tears, and laughter.

Changing the Story

Feminist Fiction and the Tradition

By: Gayle Greene

... Changing the Story... gives an excellent and well-informed account of the differences between the American, Canadian, British, and French attitudes towards feminism and feminist fiction and literary theory.... a very readable book... which reminds us that literature can change us, and that through it we can change ourselves." -- Margaret Drabble "A distinctive contribution -- clear, elegant, precise, and well-read -- to the feminist discussion of narrative, of Anglo/Canadian/white North American novelists, and to contemporary fiction. Greene tracks how feminist novelists draw upon, and negotiate with traditional narrative patterns, and how their critical approach implicates, and provokes, social change. The book brings us to an intelligent post-humanism which does not scant the social meanings of metafictional critique. And, in addition, this book remembers hope." -- Rachel Blau DuPlessis "Changing the Story is an invaluable guide to the feminist classics of the last three decades. This is cultural criticism at its best: engaged, re-visionary, and politically astute." -- Nancy K. Miller "Greene tells a very good tale about how feminist fiction emerged, developed, made changes in the world, and now threatens to wane." -- The Women's Review of Books "Her probing analysis... should captivate general readers as well as academics." -- WLW Journal "Changing the Story is an important work of feminist criticism certain to spark controversy within the feminist community." -- American Literature The feminist fiction movement of the 1960s--1980s was and is as significant a movement as Modernism. Gayle Greene focuses on the works of Doris Lessing, Margaret Drabble, Margaret Atwood, and Margaret Laurence to trace the roots of this feminist literary explosion. She also speculates on the future of feminist fiction in the current regressive period of "post feminism.
