Mary, Mary?...Quite Contrary!

This was written to honor Real Mary. After Yeshua, our first love, Real Mary is part of the inspiration for this book. She is depicted in several shadow types in scripture as Miriam, the sister of the Deliverer; Mary the virgin, the mother of the Messiah; Mary of Bethany, the friend to the Friend that sticks closer than a brother; and Mary Magdalene, a type and shadow of the bride of Christ. Real Mary-she is a sister, a mother, a friend, a betrothed, and along with the remaining living stones of the final-century church, she is the future bride of Christ. Thank you Mary, the Real Mary.

Get her for me, for she pleaseth Me well.

-Judges 14:3b (JPS Tanakh version)
