From the dust jacket: " [F]ive Marys are described by gospel writers as having large part in Jesus' life: his mother; his Aunt Mary, two of his own generation -- Mary of Bethany and Mary of Magdala - and Mary of Jerusalem, the mother of John Mark. These are the subjects of Mrs. Heaps' sympathetic and discerning chapters� each of the personal studies in this book is preceded by excerpts from scripture which directly concern the person studied, with verse references for complete passages. To know the story of these five Marys is to have a basis for the understanding of the life of Jesus of Nazareth not to be gained in any other way.". SIGNED by the AUTHOR.

Store Description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
