Named: Mary, Mother of Jesus
Talk about a roller-coaster life. Mary goes from being a pregnant social outcast, to the mother of God, to a parent steeped in grief, to a firm and devoted disciple of Jesus Christ. Not many people would say their lives could compare to that. And yet, the pattern of Mary's life follows a familiar road any Christian might recognize in varying detail. God radically reorients the life of a believer, and even the mother of God's own Son is not exempt from that reorientation.

Named is a small group resource that tells the stories of people from Scripture through a new lens—exploring the mystery of faith with a literary touch. Each series introduces six stories from the Bible, unpacking one every week. Become acquainted with the people identified by God in a story as particular as your own.
