In the Manger ~ Part 5: Mary (Continued)
A dozen other parents stood around them, waiting to present their sacrifice to the Temple priest, and, therefore, their children to the Lord. Babes squalled, apparently growing as impatient with the wait as some of their parents. Jesus cuddled against Mary’s chest, quiet as a lamb and unbothered by the surrounding noise, His tiny fist …

It’s fun to see what favorites I have in common with others, and even more fun to discover authors I’ve never read anything from before. I’ve also been asked many times for book recommendations—another thing I LOVE! I’m always happy to share about the …
Review: Land of Silence by Tessa Afshar (+ My Newfound Love of Audible!)
I have recently fallen in love with audio books! I’ve always enjoyed listening to audio dramas and stories (especially the Chronicles of Narnia audio dramas from Focus on the Family!), but I’ve never really tried actual audio books.
