Real Life with MARY
Growing in Virtue to Magnify the LordBy Kelsey GillespyLength3h 40m
About this audiobook
What does it look like to be a holy woman who says yes to Jesus in the chaos of everyday life? Who better to learn this from than Mary, the mother of Jesus?
Scripture shows Mary to be a real woman, full of grace, tenacity, and a love of God that led her to follow Jesus through deep sufferings and great joys. By growing in friendship with Mary and learning from her, we too can walk the path of holiness and put virtue into action.
Grow in virtue and friendship with Mary through the chaos of life with these spirited, down-to-earth reflections by Kelsey Gillespy, author of In the Trenches. In this witty and profound guide to Christian discipleship for women, Gillespy contemplates the virtues of Mary and proposes practical and powerful ways to magnify the Lord—by folding laundry, raising kids, or training for elite athletics. Formatted for personal reflection or group discussion, Real Life with Mary features short chapters, discussion questions, and prayers.
