Women of the Nativity by Paula Gooder

The nativity story is told from the perspective of nine women in all including Mary, Elizabeth, Rachel, and others whom scripture records or tradition has imagined, such as the innkeeper’s wife. As we hear the familiar stories afresh through their words, the wonder of the incarnation and its consequences for good and for ill, come to vivid life in a new way. Each story is accompanied by a painting by the priest-artist, Ally Barrett

One reviewer commented: 'Paula is a great storyteller. Her combination of biblical and historical characters with material of her own divinely inspired imagination certainly provides a treat for Christians who are looking for something fresh and thought-provoking.'
