A baby changes everything.Especially when that baby is the Messiah.Nobody believed Mary.Nobody.She claimed that the baby she carried was Gods Son. Her outraged family quite naturally assumed that the father was her betrothed, Joseph. He, on the other hand, was devastated by the thought of his beloved with another man. And it didnt actually matter to the villagers who the father wasthis juicy morsel of gossip was viciously satisfying.Nobody in Nazareth cared that their ancient Jewish prophecies foretold the Messiahs virgin birth. An unwed mother was, well, an unwed mother. And they didnt trust her blasphemous tale. That self-righteous girl would invent an outrageous story to disguise her sin. Never mind their own sins, she was guilty. She deserved to die.
Lazarus?s sisters. One was stunning. The other stable. One was scandalous. The other bitter. One dangerous. The other no-nonsense. But there were things they shared: a family cursed with dark secrets and betrayal. The desperate longing to be loved. The fear of change. The fear that things would remain the same. Both shared a desperate need for a Savior. In this brilliant retelling of an old story, you?ll find yourself in the middle of a household plagued with problems?yet privileged to know Jesus of Nazareth. Author Patty Froese Ntihemuka weaves together the story of a sister who is a reformed prostitute, a sister hardened by ordinariness, a brother touched by death, a Pharisee uncle committed to maintaining appearances, and a Redeemer who changes everything.
