Book Reviews

'Miryam of Nazareth - Woman of strength & Wisdom'  Ann Johnson.

6/3/2026

This is the story of one woman’s life in living dialogue with the one God.
Biblical verses are taken and, with careful illustration and free verse, they are described further. A woman of prayer, a woman of faith, a woman of confidence, this is the Miryam (Mary) of Nazareth described in Ann Johnson’s vivid contemporary portrait of the mother of Jesus. This book was was first published over 20 yrs ago, the new edition of this spiritual classic we discover that these strengths were part of Miryam - long before the angel asked for her cooperation in God’s plan of salvation.
Ann Johnson’s imaginative & stirring use of the magnificat prayer form presents a fresh & appealing view of Mary, the God-bearer & woman for all times.
Thank you Ann Johnson & Peninsula library for shelving this book.
