Raising Messiah

Did a prophetic word given to a small child in Jerusalem prompt the Evil One to thwart her destiny? With the shame of being an unwed mother in a self-righteous society, Mary of Nazareth struggles to raise her divine son in a large, very human family. She steps off the marble pedestal as Langley draws on speculation, imagination, and inspiration to weave the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus, into a tapestry of love and courage. Drawing together the gaps in the fabric of Scripture while staying true to the written word, Raising Messiah is a tribute to Mary s struggles and triumphs.
