Helpful Score: 1
In Two From Galilee, Marjorie Holmes tells the story of two real people whose lives were touched by God: the two people chosen by God to provide an earthly home for His Son. Here are Mary and Joseph - a teenage girl and a young carpenter - alone, frightened, in love, faced with family conflict, a hostile world an an awesome responsibiligy. It is a story for young and old alike; for everyone who finds the Christmas tale a source of timeless beauty and wonder; a compassionate, gripping, emotional novel of divine love.

Marjorie Holmes's skillful writing takes these two wonderful characters off the calendars and Christmas cards and makes them genuine human beings with whom people can identify. Mary is portrayed as a lovely young woman just emerged from girlhood, and Joseph as a smitten, hardworking carpenter - both of them deeply in love, joyously betrothed, and preparing for their wedding and new home. Holmes treats the nativity reverently, without deviating from the biblical account, but makes it live for readers as the intense love story it must have been.
