A fresh and provocative look at many of the women who served as Jesus' "great grandmothers," Mothers Around the Manger invites the reader to gain a new perspective on the birth of the Christ Child. Allen's warm writing style both informs and inspires today's Christians to learn from the lives of these remarkable and little understood women. Drawing names from the genealogies for Jesus offered by Matthew and Luke, Mothers around the Manger offers intriguing and challenging chapters on Tamara, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, Elizabeth, Mary & Anna.
J. Timothy Allen is the minister of St John's New Mission United Church of Christ, Burlington, NC. He is author of numerous magazine, journal and newspaper articles and two books, Seasons in the Year and When the Season is Dry.
