We know her as a teenage girl from an insignificant village, with no power, no wealth, and no influence beyond her small community. And yet, when an angel appeared with news that would change the world, Mary of Nazareth said yes.
Too often Mary has been reduced to a single title: mother of Jesus. InMary: Exploring the Faith of the First Disciple, pastor Caroline Smith invites readers to discover the full woman behind that title. Drawing on the seven words Mary speaks in Scripture and the seven sorrows she endured, Smith reveals a woman of courage, grief, and prophetic power whose faith has never been more relevant.
This book is for anyone who has asked hard questions of God, endured suffering without easy answers, or longed to say yes to a calling that seemed impossibly large. Mary was not a passive figure in salvation history. She was its first disciple: the one who believed before anyone else, who stood at the cross when others fled, and who prayed alongside the early church as it took its first breath.
Caroline Smith is a pastor and author who has ministered on multiple continents, including years of service in South Africa. She holds a degree from Baylor University and lives in Atlanta with her husband and two children.
