Up From Dust Martha’s Story (Women of the Way) By Heather Kaufman from Bethany House Publishing. "A biblical story with a heart for today's world, pulling out an array of joy and hope, sorrow and loss."--Mesu Andrews, award-winning author
"Taking us on an intriguing journey through heartbreak and healing,
Heather Kaufman leads her readers directly to the joy of the empty
tomb."--Connilyn Cossette, award-winning author
Martha of Bethany is no stranger to adversity. After her mother's untimely
death, Martha shoulders the responsibility of raising her siblings--quiet and
studious Lazarus, and wild and rambunctious Mary. She finds solace in
friendship and the beginnings of first love, but just as Martha begins to
imagine a new future, hardship strikes again and her dreams crumble into dust. Ten
years later, Martha's friend pleads for the new teacher, Jesus of Nazareth, to
come and heal her husband. When Martha discovers that the carpenter-rabbi is
connected to her past, she's not sure she can trust him with her future. But as
he continues to perform miracles, the invitation to believe becomes harder to
resist, renewing Martha's hardened heart, even as she faces an unknown future.
My
Opinion: This story focuses on Martha, the sister of Lazarus. The author takes
us on a journey from Martha’s life and includes her trials and challenges, the
complexities of a female living in Biblical times, and complicated family
relationships. Her life-changing encounters with Jesus reflect what is read in
the Bible. I learned so much and easy understanding of the Bible which helped
me greatly to see she went through so much to become who she is today in time
and love.
