The Two Marys

<p>Two women. Two yeses. Between them-all of heaven and earth.</p><p><em>The Two Marys</em> tells the intertwined story of Mary Mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene the first to behold His resurrection. One brought God into the world; the other refused to let Him be forgotten. From Nazareth's silence to the garden's dawn D. Michael Gross unites their voices in a symphony of obedience and endurance-the cradle answering the tomb.</p><p>Written in a luminous literary-theological style <em>The Two Marys</em> moves between history and mystery exploring how faith begins in hiddenness and matures through loss. Each Mary becomes a mirror for courage: the courage to say yes before knowing the cost and the courage to keep believing after paying it.</p><p>This work stands at the crossroads of scripture devotion and literature-where the divine meets the human and holiness hides in humility. It is not a novel of invention but a meditation on endurance: how the Word entered through one woman's willingness and returned through another's witness.</p><p>The blood of birth and the light of resurrection-the same scarlet thread stitched through both.</p><p><em>The Two Marys</em> is both ancient and immediate scholarly and sacred-a book for readers who crave prose that worships while it speaks.</p>
