Mary of Bethany stands alone in the Gospels. She was the friend of Jesus, sharer of His secrets. She abides . . . uninhibited and limitless . . . an eternal emblem of Adoration of Jesus.
Adoration is a profound gaze at the very human story of two sisters, their contrast full of stark meaning. Mary and Martha, symbols of choice . . . between what gains God against what loses Him.
Mary of Bethany received from Jesus what no other player in the Redemption Story received: His never-ending command that where the Gospel is preached the story of her alabaster jar is to be told . . .
This book proclaims her memorial place with extraordinary insight and reverance, laced with the goal of following this quiet one who was the delight of Jesus into our own . . . Adoration.
