When an angel tells her that she is favored because Adonai is with her, Miryam isn't sure she wants such a favor. All the people in the Tanakh who had known Adonai's presence had also known severe suffering as they brought deliverance to his people. As Miryam accepts Adonai's mission to bear the Messiah in the face of her own fears and misgivings, she learns for herself greater joys and suffering than even she had imagined. But she also begins to see the deliverance--not just of her people, but of the entire world.

Hailing from a mono-cultural family with a cross-cultural focus, Jennifer A. G. Layte has loved travel and interacting with other cultures from a very early age. As the daughter of pastor/missionaries, she spent six of her earliest years in Honduras, although her own cultural transition there was rather unsuccessful. In college, she traveled to India for five weeks, where she worked mainly with children. After paying off education-incurred debts by working as a nanny in Connecticut, she moved to London, England, to work with refugees and other migrants in the East End. The author's multicultural and biblical background heavily influence her fiction writing. Her themes revolve around finding meaning through physical, spiritual or philosophical displacement. Now a pastor, spiritual director, and founder of the Pilgrimage, an online spiritual formation community, Rev. Layte provides spiritual mentoring, formation, and direction for any seeking to deepen their relationship with God-or encountering God for the first time-facilitating movement toward wholeness in Christ and participation in local churches. A writer, teacher, and spiritual caregiver at heart, she loves team building, introducing people to Jesus, and teaching things she is also learning. A lot of that happens via the written word, as in the book you've just read.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. When an angel appears and tells her that she is, out of wedlock, to become the mother of the Son of the divine Adonai, Miryam, a young woman in the backwaters of the Roman Empire, believes she must give up her betrothed to obey God. To her surprise, her betrothed marries her and raises the promised child, Yeshua, as his own.As an adult, Yeshua gives up the family carpentry business to start fulfilling his destiny as Messiah, but his half brothers resent him. Torn between the children from her husband and the child from God, Miryam finally becomes one of Yeshua's unconventional female disciples, a talmidah. After hearing many parables and witnessing supernatural acts, Miryam is more convinced than ever that her son is the Messiah and that Adonai will not let his Messiah die. It is with consternation, then, that she hears members of Yeshua's special Twelve speaking with confusion about how he keeps saying he must be killed. The Pesach festival approaches, and Yeshua and all his followers return to Yerushalayim, the people's holy city. Yeshua enters the city with great fanfare, riding on a donkey, and Miryam hopes her misgivings are false, but by the end of the festival, Yeshua is hanging from a cross. Miryam alternates between grief and rage after watching her firstborn son die at the hands of such brutality. Yet days later, MIryam and the other women disciples are met by an angel who tells them Yeshua is alive. A gloriously confusing but joyous day ensues as Yeshua's followers encounter their resurrected Lord. Miryam returns to her other children to tell them the news, though she doesn't expect them to believe it. However, the ice between the brothers seems to be melting. By the time of the next festival, the followers, now including Yeshua's brothers, return to Yerushalayim. Yeshua, on the other hand, returns to his Father, but not before mysteriously telling his loved ones to wait for his Spirit to come to them in Yerushalayim.More willing to trust his baffling utterances than before, Miryam and the others do wait as instructed, and the Spirit does descend to them. It is as they are speaking in languages they have never learned before that Miryam has a new epiphany: in the beginning, she and she alone was asked to bear the Messiah. Now all of his people will bear the Messiah, as well, throughout the world. N° de réf. du vendeur CIN0578478420VG
