Heaven in Her Arms: Why God Chose Mary to Raise His Son and What It Means for You

Jesus is Mary's son and Jesus is the Son of God. The God of the universe hand picked Mary to raise His Son!

Mary was there the day Jesus was born, and she was there the day he was crucified. Her story is deep and rich and has myriad lessons for any woman - mothers, daughters, sisters, friends.

Mary's story reveals that a woman's heart is important to the Father.

'When God selected Mary,' Hickem says, 'He was looking for heart. God set out to find the precise woman who would give her heart to Him, completely and wholly. He wanted a woman with whom He could entrust His perfect Son. This was going to be no ordinary woman.'

Heaven in Her Arms will touch your heart if you are facing fear and uncertainty, wondering about leaving your plans behind, feeling a need for community and the support of other women, or wanting to deepen your life of faith.

Hickem reflects on Mary's story and offers practical applications, as well as inspiring real-life stories from contemporary women.
