The Women of Easter: Encounter the Savior with Mary of Bethany, Mary of Nazareth, and Mary Magdalene Free Audiobook Download by Liz Curtis Higgs
Today is Holy Saturday. It is the third day of Easter that follows the Holy Friday. On this day, the Church celebrates Jesus’s death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead.
Mary of Bethany, Mary of Nazareth, and Mary Magdalene are women that we don't typically learn about during Lent. Liz Curtis Higgs' book allows us a deeper look into the lives of these women and how Jesus Christ was brought to them through their encounters with him. These three women were very different from one another but all were empowered by their own unique relationship with Jesus Christ.
The Women of Easter is a beautiful parable of God's love for us, showing us how even when we feel unsure or out of place, He is able to use our circumstances to reveal His love. It is through these three women the author shares the story of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. While the women mourn for Jesus with Mary Magdalene leading them in song, Mary of Bethany struggles to find peace with her family and Mary of Nazareth watches from afar. Liz Curtis Higgs infuses this work with hope and encouragement as she encourages us to live our lives as Christ did by serving others, as well as trusting Him in every circumstance.
In this audiobook, Liz Curtis Higgs takes listeners on a journey exploring the lives of three women with very different lives, perspective and backgrounds. Today we are introduced to the women in the gospels that were mentioned as traveling with Jesus from Bethlehem to Jerusalem.
Liz Curtis Higgs is a talented narrator that perfectly captures the tone of each woman in her story. I would recommend this book if you are interested in women's stories that explore their relationship with Jesus. The Women of Easter: Encounter the Savior with Mary of Bethany, Mary of Nazareth, and Mary Magdalene offers an interesting perspective on how women were able to be saved through Jesus.
Mary, Mary of Bethany, Mary of Nazareth, and Mary Magdalene are three women who have been called the "Women at the Well," but we learn in this audiobook that they don't actually all know each other. We also find out that they were living very different lives in different parts of the country. These women are representative of a time in history when people often lived far away from one another and held vastly different beliefs and lifestyles.
