About this listen
Find guidance through the advent season with the mother of Jesus and central figure in the story of Christmas, Mary.
At Christmastime we remember that an ordinary, young, poor, oppressed woman was chosen to play a significant and breakthrough role in the redemption of the world. It is no mistake that a woman gets to be a part of all this, and that her voice, her questions, her fears, and her actions matter.
Mary’s faith and her wisdom form an astonishing aspect of the story of how God became a person for the love of this world. And in our weary world that is waiting and longing for light, meaning, peace, and love, we can do as Mary did when she “treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.”
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

"Mary’s Voice is the most unique and relatable advent resource I’ve ever read. Amy gives us a vantage point of advent that is rarely, if ever, seen. She reminds us that the church flourishes when we hear the faithful voices of women, the poor and the oppressed. Our souls are enriched when our theological reflections on the life, death and ultimate triumph of Jesus, our Savior, are not devoid of a rich awareness of the social situation of those whom God used in the story of our redemption. In the busyness of advent, Mary’s Voice is an invitation for us to pause in praise joining Mary’s Magnificat, remembering that, in Christ, God has '…lifted up the lowly; God has filled the hungry with good things'."—Chris Brooks, Author of Urban Apologetics, Host of Equipped with Chris Brooks, Senior Pastor Woodside Bible Church
"If leadership is about influence then, after Jesus, Mary was the greatest leader of all time. Uniquely she was present at the three great moments of our redemption: the Incarnation, Passion and Pentecost. In this book, Amy Orr Ewing presents Mary’s perspective–her fear, her faith and her wisdom–to highlight how her life can offer hope to all who journey through tears, disappointment, lament, struggle and pain."—Nicky and Pippa Gumbel, Author, Pioneers of Alpha and Vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton, London
"What better companions could there possibly be for our journey through Advent to Christmas than these two women: Mary the mother of Jesus who speaks more powerfully into this season than any other, and Amy Orr-Ewing, a trusted voice and respected friend whose insights never fail to encourage and inspire me."—Pete Greig, Founder 24-7 Prayer International and Senior Pastor Emmaus Rd Church

Hearing Mary's perspective
I listened to 'Mary's Voice' during December 2023 for advent. Considering the nativity from the perspective of Jesus's mother brought a freshness to the Christmas story. The important role of Mary in Jesus's life and as a leader in the early church has been helpful to think about - and encouraging to me as a woman lay minister. The 10-minute chunks were just right for daily listening, and the artworks in the accompanying PDF added a rich dimension to the reflections.

So many details of Scripture I’d never considered.
What a wonderful way to spend Advent. Amy brings out and discusses so many points of Scripture which I’d never considered. In addition to putting into the cultural and historical perspective, she uses paintings to help create a deeper and better understanding of what is written. I thoroughly enjoyed this, would highly recommend it and am looking forward to reading more.

Reflective
Not lots of new content compared to other studies on Mary’s magnificat, and was read very slowly. Had to listen on 1.5.
