This book has been a blessing to read, and it kept me focused on the true "reason for the season" instead of the materialism that is prevalent at this time of the year. Eight wondrous chapters tell the tales of these three ordinary women surrounding the coming birth of Christ. The women are brought to life in this book, and it isn't just about the women. Liz also talks about their husbands, Elizabeth's husband questioned God. Mary's betrothed worried. But despite it all, they remained faithful to God.Each chapter open with a beloved Christmas carol or hymn and those set the themes for the chapters. Scattered through each chapter are encouraging and enlightening quotes from women from Liz's online bible study.I love the author’s style, and how she provides insight into the culture and the times. She made it a fun, but informative read. Truly a beautiful read, I recommend everyone read this! This was my first read by Liz Curtis Higgs and what a joy and delight it was. Liz has a way of telling a story that draws you in, as if you're in the midst. I participated in an on-line bible study for this book and am so glad I did! The book will renew and refresh your spirit as the lives of Elizabeth, Mary and Anna are reviewed as servant-hearted women filled with awe, obedience and hope in Christ the Savior. It was just the extra touch to make my Christmas all the more meaningful.
