There are some relationships in the Gospels that feel public and dramatic. And then there is Bethany. In a small house just outside Jerusalem, Jesus was not only Rabbi and Messiah, he was friend. Martha served him. Mary listened at his feet. Lazarus walked out of a tomb at his voice. And in that house, love was poured out without restraint.
When Mary breaks an alabaster jar of costly nard and anoints Jesus, the fragrance fills the room. It is an act of devotion. It is also a prophecy. From that moment, the story moves toward the cross. Broken Open is a literary meditation on the final days of Jesus as seen through the intertwined lives of Martha, Mary, Lazarus, Judas, Simon of Cyrene, and those who watched him walk the road to Golgotha.
Through rich, immersive prose, Andrew explores:
Through rich, immersive prose, Andrew explores:
