Two From Galilee

'Two From Galilee' by Marjorie Holmes is the story of Mary and Joseph. This book shows us what happened to them leading up to the birth of Jesus Christ. I loved reading about their love story and the struggles that they went through to finally be together as husband and wife. I love the story of Mary. I think she is one of the bravest, strongest, most faithful women who ever walked the Earth. She was entrusted by God with both a gift, and a huge responsibility, to be the mother of Jesus Christ, our savior and redeemer. But this is also the story of Joseph. When Mary told him she was pregnant he could have publicly humiliated her and had her stoned to death. It took great faith to believe her story and love this precious child as his own. These are two amazing people who overcome many trials. Their love is inspiring and one of the reasons,  I believe, that they were chosen by our Father in Heaven to be the earthly parents of His only begotten son. Read this book. You'll love it.
