The Bethany Tales
Summary
A young woman, cast out by her father and shunned by her family, wanders the streets of Jerusalem, selling her body to survive in a cutthroat city that has no mercy for the downtrodden. When one man promises her a different way of life, she overcomes her doubts and opens her heart to him. A stranger named Jesus saves Mary from death, and she becomes a devoted follower. He helps her to break free from a life of prostitution, and they travel to her home village of Bethany to seek reconciliation with her family. Her brother Lazarus gladly accepts her back, but her sister and uncle make it abundantly clear that she is not welcome there. In the face of her sister’s rejection and her uncle’s judgmental pride, Mary questions God’s forgiveness and struggles to forgive herself. Yet, even as their lives interweave and collide, the very ones who are so quick to condemn her, wrestle with their own internal demons - inadequacy, self-righteousness, and the need to earn God’s favor.

Discover how God uses the daily struggles and sacrifices of motherhood to make us more like Christ. There are many books on motherhood but not many that talk about how hard it is - physically, mentally, and spiritually - and what to do when you reach your limits. When Liz Wann became a mother, she was unprepared for how hard it would be. In this book, she describes honestly about these deeply challenging aspects of motherhood and how God works through them to make us more like his son. “Coming to the end of who I was, and what motherhood was stripping me of, was a good thing that drove me to Christ and to the power that he supplies in every failure and weakness of motherhood.” (Liz Wann) This short, easy-to-digest book encourages mothers to depend on Christ when they reach the end of themselves. They will find that God will supply what they need to cope with the daily sacrifices and challenges of motherhood, and that he will use these struggles to make them more like Christ. Liz has been involved with the ministries of Risen Motherhood and Revive Our Hearts, writing about how God has been working in her life through the hardships of motherhood. Liz Wann lives in West Philadelphia with her husband, Josh, and their three children. She is a regular contributor to desiringGod.org, Revive Our Hearts, and ERLC.com.
