Luke 1:26-56 tells the story of the announcement to the Virgin Mary of the birth of Jesus. Ford identifies and examines a pattern of six truths in Mary's response, a model for how believers should implement a God-given task that seems utterly impossible. Accept God's Blessing of Favor Ask the Right Question Take Encouragement From What God is Doing for Others Now Seize the Opportunity Go on Vacation Make God Bigger Each chapter begins with a biographical slice of Mary's life-not fictionalized per se, but intelligently extrapolated from Scriptural roots. Ford's eloquently casual prose presents Mary as a very young and vulnerable girl who received the most wonderful news in history. Being Mary, an unmarried, pregnant teenaged girl, could have been a death sentence during that time of Levitical law. In her faith and humility, with a spirit of praise, Mary chose to let go and let God.
