Full Product Description

- This book explores the relationship between the two sisters
- You'll see the story anew in the pages of this moving novel
Sisters of Lazarus: Beauty Unveiled is about Mary and Martha and their struggles with issues of self-worth. The author often wondered why the sisters were at odds and the book opens with Mary tiptoeing into the house as she returns from market with a hand-mirror for herself instead of saffron for Martha.
Beyond re-telling the Bible story, the book also shows that a woman's value to God does not lie in appearance or the value which we place on skills, accomplishments, possessions, or intellect. 'In Sisters of Lazarus, Paula K. Parker pens a riveting story of love, longing and faith. Parker's novels bear the profoundly satisfying mark of her gift as a playwright. She combines masterful story-telling with well-crafted dialogue. The result is a cast of Biblical characters fresh and human and real.
Through the eyes of Lazarus, Mary and Martha, the reader eagerly connects with three siblings from a normal, dysfunctional family.
Gone are the dusty, unapproachable characters of Sunday school. Set in Bethany, 2000 years ago, Parker breaks the time barrier with her brilliant use of cultural detail.
The veil lifts, and we are brought face to face with flesh and blood people who jump off the pages and into our 21st century world. We resonate with their struggles, dreams, delight, disappointments, and the unpredictable ways God continually touches the human heart. Thank you Paula for giving powerful new voice to another ageless story.' Bonnie Keen - recording artist, actor, author

Sisters of Lazarus
Zoë Stevenson, via The Good Book StallI loved this book. What a wonderful way to bring the stories of the Bible alive adding the ways of that time and culture so that anyone, without being a Bible scholar, can learn more about them.
Parker looks at the sisters of Lazarus, Martha and Mary, and tells their stories not as individuals but as a family unit with their extended family, along with their culture and their lifestyle, and most importantly how beauty of the physical is not important but beauty of the heart is. The author has an excellent way of bringing the reader into the book and making them feel like they are one of the other guests meeting Jesus for the first time.
Well written, this book flows and I really enjoyed piecing together stories that I had not set in order for myself. I found it quite inspirational from a woman, writing for women and hope that Parker will be lead to write more.
