Because of Mary’s heart, God showed her great favor
I just received my book order of “Mary, Mother of Jesus” by Arabella Penrose. I am now a grandmother. I wish I would have had a book like this to read to my children when they were growing up. I caught myself reading each page over and over as the Word conveyed in rhyme was so enjoyable. The illustrations are captivating, bringing the story to life. I love the discussion pages with the memory verses. So helpful to have a “study” with small children. Proverbs 22:6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

The pictures excited her to see what was on the next page and she loves the bright colors and loves to color. She gives it top rating she said! She was drawn in to Mary being pregnant with Jesus, she said our Savior of the world. I said yes indeed.

    After having been pleased with the author's first children's book (God's Gift of Boys and Girls), I am just as delighted with MARY Mother of Jesus. Using a sing-song language pattern familiar to children along with beautifully engaging illustrations, the author engages children in the story of Mary’s heroism. As others have stated, this is a great gift for children, families, churches, friends, and neighbors.
    I cannot wait for the author’s next venture into authentic biblical children’s literature!
