Mary At The Cross celebrates events in the New Testament by exploring them through the eyes of people who were there. In these thirty quietly professional yet accessible poems, Loretta Miles Tollefson combines her prize-winning poetic skills and knowledge of the Bible to look in a new way at the ancient stories and the people who lived them. Read these poems and experience a fresh approach to and appreciation of the New Testament stories. Each poem focuses on a different event. Reading them, you'll ponder the meaning of Christ's birth with the announcing angel, reflect on Matthew's emotions when he's called to be a disciple, stand with Mary at the cross, experience the empty tomb with Mary Magdalene, and watch with Peter's wife as he develops into an Apostle . . . Mary At The Cross is the companion volume to the forthcoming collection And Moses Was There.
