Martha and Mary: Saving the Sisters from Bethany

Martha and Mary: Saving the Sisters from Bethany by Ntihemuka, Patty Froese. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780812704716.

Lazaruss sisters. One was stunning. The other stable. One was scandalous. The other bitter. One dangerous. The other no-nonsense. But there were things they shared: a family cursed with dark secrets and betrayal. The desperate longing to be loved. The fear of change. The fear that things would remain the same. Both shared a desperate need for a Savior. In this brilliant retelling of an old story, youll find yourself in the middle of a household plagued with problems--yet privileged to know Jesus of Nazareth. Author Patty Froese Ntihemuka weaves together the story of a sister who is a reformed prostitute, a sister hardened by ordinariness, a brother touched by death, a Pharisee uncle committed to maintaining appearances, and a Redeemer who changes everything.
