Dear Mary By Sarah Jakes

Hopeful, Inspiring Message
for Moms from Sarah Jakes
Mary, the mother of Jesus, is a remarkable example of quiet, resilient faith and courage in the face of adversity. From the angel's first announcement of her pregnancy to the death and resurrection of her son, Mary was witness to our Lord and Savior in a unique and special way.

And as a mother herself, she speaks to the modern-day mom in a way few have explored before.

Writing in the form of letters, Sarah Jakes examines the life of Mary--and through Mary, Jesus--to better understand what a life of faith looks like. Maybe you struggle to trust God's will for your life. Perhaps you have fears and insecurities that keep you from realizing the joy God wants for you, or the thought of raising little ones overwhelms you. Through the example of Mary, discover the freedom that only true faith can bring.

The Book over all with it's title to me can be a tad misleading. Before I started to read the book I was expecting to have my Bible close by because I was expecting the book to be filled with Bible verses. The book did have Bible verses in it however not as much as you would think with the title referring to lessons the author had learned from a Biblical character. The author also wrote the book in a format that each chapter is written like a letter to Mary the mother of Jesus. To me that format is sometimes distracting. I would read a story she wrote about her family and the next paragraph she would be talking to mary and at times it was confusing. However, everything about the book is not negative. There are very good points made and some stories are greatly encouraging. If you read the book with the thought it is more of a memoir of her first years of mothering you could find this book interesting. I give this book 3.5 stars. 

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.
