(Peeters 1991)

This is a personal spiritual journey through love with dramatic encounters with "the Holy." It is a man's story. It also makes short reflective arguments with the languages of psychotherapy and religion saying instead that love is a sacred place, protected by the Feminine, and has a language of its own.

Beverly Roberts Gaventa A fresh, distinctive, Protestant treatment of Mary's life and legacy.

Her Cinderella Moment Sue Green just wanted one night to be the pretty one. But a few glasses of champagne and one wild disguise later, she's in some serious trouble. Who knew the devastatingly handsome face of Lord Holden Ellis would get in the way of her foot? And how exactly did all that high-kick dancing start in the first place? At least she blamed it on her new persona—Suzanna—so Society's most eligible bachelor will never find out the truth. All Holden wants is the truth. Who was that vixen who seduced him so thoroughly, then disappeared? The only one who seems to have any answers about Suzanna is Miss Sue Green. She's promised to help him find his mystery woman, but she's not being all that helpful. And the more time Holden spends with Sue—witty, pretty, and disarmingly honest—the more he realizes he may have found exactly what he's been looking for all along...

Despite her prominence in the Christian narrative, Mary largely has been neglected within the Protestant church. Widely respected Protestant scholars seek to answer three basic questions: Who is Mary? How does Mary's story intersect with contemporary life: and What does Mary teach us about God?

A collection of essays, articles, tabloid journalism, academic essays, art, and more, chronicling Madonna's career.

Starting with a dark-skinned girl barely out of adolescence when she gives birth, Lesley Hazleton weaves together the many facets of Mary's existence: peasant villager, wise woman and healer, activist, mother, teacher, and yes, virgin, though in a sense we have long forgotten. She follows her through the worst any mother can experience-the excruciating death of her child-and then looks at how she transforms grief into wisdom, disaster into renewal. Strong and courageous, the Mary we see here does not merely assent to her role in history, but chooses it and lives it to the fullest.
