  Waiting For The Wonder

  $17.95

  Imagine the hushed excitement and the vivid anticipation of a child on Christmas Eve. How much more intense that anticipation must have been for those who waited for the wonder of the very first Christmas. From the ancient prophets to the three kings, from the angel Gabriel to the stalwart Joseph, Katarina Katsarka Whitley imagines their astonishment and joy at the events unfolding around them.

  In her inimitable style, Whitley places herself in the hearts and minds of the biblical characters-both real and imagined-who played a part in the Christmas narrative. She weaves stories, solidly based in Scripture, at once compelling and thought-provoking. The voices of her characters lead us closer to the Christ Child and deepen the meaning of the season of Advent for twenty-first century readers.

  Katerina Whitley’s first book of biblical monologues, Speaking for Ourselves, was received with enthusiastic praise. Now she is back with another provocative collection of stories. In Seeing for Ourselves: Biblical Women Who Met Jesus, Whitley gives powerful voice to the New Testament women who met Jesus both before and after the Resurrection.

  The woman at the well; The adulterous woman who was nearly stoned to death; Cleopas’ wife whom Jesus may have met on the road to Emmaus; The woman who touched Jesus’ cloak in order to be healed; Mary and Martha; Phoebe; Prisca; Pilate’s wife; The bride at the wedding of Cana.

  As in her first volume, the book includes references to the biblical passages along with study questions, making this an excellent book for group study.

  Speaking For Ourselves

  $19.95

  There are many powerful women in the Bible, but their descriptions are almost always tantalizingly brief. If they had a chance to tell their own stories in their own voices, what would they have said? Basing her interpretation of these women on extensive research, Katerina Whitley puts herself in their shoes, giving today’s listeners a fuller understanding of each of their stories. The women explored include: the Virgin Mary, Miriam, Mary Magdalene, Elizabeth, and more. Study questions follow each woman’s story.
