Who hasn't been there: You're late for one child's music lessons, another child's shoes are missing, the house is a mess, you're trying to make dinner before you leave ... It's enough to make a mom cry -- or laugh. Mary, a saint and yet a mom, too, would have laughed at those inevitable moments when everything seems to go wrong. Her life as a mother -- and as a wife, a daughter, and a friend -- is a perfect model for us today. Laura Marie Wells, author of A Marian Bible Study: Bringing Scripture to Life for Moms, finds those connections between the Blessed Mother's life and ours. A mom to three children herself, Wells includes her own tales from the front with warmth and humor. At the same time, Wells exposes readers to the depth and breadth of what is known about Mary. Her careful research is born of seven years' experience leading Bible studies. Wells' detailed questions are designed to break open the topic so participants learn the facts as they grow to truly love our mother Mary. It's quickly evident this Bible study was designed by a mom for busy women. Wells offers suggestions for structuring study sessions with young children in tow and supplies all the necessary elements -- prayers, readings, songs, discussion questions, and charts -- for a successful experience. Answers to each question are even provided in the back of the book. Whether it's a tool for fellowship with other moms or a means of personal growth, A Marian Bible Study: Bringing Scripture to Life for Moms offers a wonderful opportunity to follow Mary in the most fundamental of ways: saying yes to God's call. |
