About this ebook
The angel had promised her that her son would become ruler in Judea . . . but instead he became a traveling preacher. Now she feared that she was losing his love. This is a portrayal of the most famous mother and son relationship in history in a new but all too familiar light.
Ted Reynolds
I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a teen-age daughter and son (with all the admiration and despair that entails) and one fat cat and one sweet cat. And a perfectly satisfactory wife. They all tolerate me. I have a scruffy beard, a bad right foot, and much too easygoing a nature for my own good. It wasn't always so leisurely. I've climbed a twelve-thousand-foot-high mountain twice. I navigated a small sailboat around the world, and saw Bora-Bora, Bali, and the Galapagos before they got globalized. I swam in 6 Seas, trod 50 oceanic islands, went through several typhoons. I was pulled over by the Coast Guard for trespass in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I got questioned by the Stasi on the wrong side of The Wall, and then crossed the Soviet Union on the Trans-Siberian Railroad on a protest mission. I’ve been charged by a rhinoceros and bitten by a badger. Then I turned 25 and had to settle down and get a job. In my spare time I stubbornly wrote stories about cruising the galaxy and a novel about killing God but all that paid zilch. Still, I've somehow earned my living, seen amazing sunrises and sunsets, known amazing people, and raised amazing kids. Lately I retired and things got dull, so I’m writing again. Wish me luck.

The Seven Sorrows of Mary
The little boy sat on his mother’s lap as she told him the Christmas story.
His eyes glowed and his heart beat faster as he imagined the stable and the manger, the shepherds and the magi, the gifts and the angels and the star.
And then his mother said, And that little baby was you. The eternal God came to me that night, and He is your Father. And we named you Jesus and you will save our people.
The little boy nodded solemnly, and became the first Christian convert.
