Title: Adoration
First published: December 1, 1999
Description: Mary of Bethany stands alone in the Gospels.
She was the friend of Jesus, sharer of His secrets.
She abides . . . uninhibited and limitless . . .
an eternal emblem of ADORATION of Jesus.

**ADORATION** is a profound gaze at the very 
human story of two sisters, 
their contrast full of stark meaning.
**"Mary and Martha, symbols of choice . . .
between what gains God against what loses Him."**

Mary of Bethany received from Jesus 
what no other player in the Redemption Story received: 
His never-ending command that where the gospel is preached 
the story of her alabaster jar is to be told.

This book proclaims her memorial place with 
extraordinary insight and reverence,
laced with the goal of following this quiet one
who was the delight of Jesus
into our own . . . **ADORATION**.
