Anna - Vivian Van Vick

One of the most remarkable - and unheralded - stories in the Christian religion is that of Anna St Anne the mother of Mary, grandmother of Jesus. Though hundreds of thousands celebrate her feast day most know nothing of her remarkable life story. This story includes her affiliation to the Essenes, the ancient Jewish sect that produced the Dead Sea Scrolls; her reputation as a healer; her three husbands; her role in preparing Mary to be the mother of the Messiah and her influence over her grandson.
This story of one woman's spiritual courage is set against a background of political tumult and intrigue and Anna's enduring relationship with Julian, a Roman legate whose life Anna changed profoundly. This suspenseful inspiring story will keep you reading well into the night.
