Description
Martha and Mary, the two sisters of Lazarus, couldn't be more different.
Martha, the elder, is plain and self-conscious; Mary, the younger, is
beautiful. One sees her value only in serving, while the other believes
her outward appearance is her only asset. Their worlds are turned upside
down when Lazarus offers hospitality to an intriguing new teacher
named Jesus.
Paula K. Parker's evocative writing draws readers in, allowing them to
feel like a fellow guest sharing the sisters' wonder at meeting Jesus and
his transforming power.
"Sisters of Lazarus is a fun and meaningful read, offering the best of
what biblical fiction provides - a tale built around beloved scriptural
figures. But Paula Parker goes deeper than just creating an entertaining
story featuring Mary and Martha, she explores the eternal question
of what it means to be truly beautiful." Â
Roma Downey - executive producer of The Bible miniseries and
star of TV's long-running Touched by an Angel
"A riveting story of love, longing and faith. Paula combines masterful
storytelling with well-crafted dialogue. The result is a cast of biblical
characters fresh, human and real. Through the eyes of Lazarus, Mary and
Martha, the reader eagerly connects with three siblings from a normal,
dysfunctional family."
