A Sword Shall Pierce Your Soul

by Lorne Brandt

Overview

Based on the biblical account of Mary, mother of Jesus, A Sword Shall Pierce Your Soul takes readers back to first-century Israel, where they meet a young woman whose "Yes" to God heralded the first notes of the gospel. From her engagement to Joseph to her conversations with her resurrected son, Mary was a faithful constant in the life of Jesus.

Lorne Brandt has crafted a "cast of characters," most biblical and some fictional, who carry the story through their dialogue and actions, and display the humanity of those who walked with God Himself. A moving read for audiences of all ages, A Sword Shall Pierce Your Soul will spark the readers' imagination and provide a glimpse into what might have happened two thousand years ago. The book title of this, his first published book, encapsulates questions that remained unanswered for Jesus' mother till after the resurrection.
