About this ebook

An ECPA 2023 Christmas Bestseller!
Spend the 40 days of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany in the company of:

Mary the Mother of Jesus
Elizabeth the Mother of John the Baptist and
Anna the Prophetess at the temple in Jerusalem.

Anticipate, celebrate, and marvel at Jesus' birth with Three Wise Women, a richly researched and faith-building new devotional by Dandi Daley Mackall. We don't hear many details directly from these three women at the heart of the first Christmas, but Scripture, studies in biblical culture, and an open heart that asks "what if" allows readers to experience new revelations for the holy season that will encourage and strengthen you in becoming a wise woman of God.

Bestselling author Dandi Mackall reflects on the events and lives of these Three Wise Women and invites you to:

Delve deeper into what these real-life women may have experienced
Ponder a new aspect of the journey toward Christ's birth and beyond through the voices of Mary, Elizabeth, and Anna
Meditate on Old and New Testament Scriptures that speak to women's hearts across generations and cultures
Grow closer to God through insightful devotional readings about Patience, Hope, Faith, Trust, Persistence, Sacrifice, Joy, Grace, Love, Confidence, and more
Reflect on your own life using the daily "Pondering Questions," as you see the story of Jesus' birth afresh through the eyes of faithful women
Join with other women in a small group or Bible study to take a faith journey together with Three Wise Women

An award-winning author, speaker, and passionate scholar of the Scriptures, Dandi shares her heart for Jesus and her own faith journey through this inspired and timely devotional. Beautifully designed with a two-color interior, Three Wise Women is the perfect book to accompany all believers through this holy season of the year, a lovely early Christmas gift, and an excellent resource for women's Bible study groups.
"Dandi Mackall tells the story of Jesus' birth from the perspectives of Mary, Elizabeth, and Anna in these devotions, allowing readers to imaginatively inhabit the thought world of first-century Middle Eastern women. The three wise women emerge as gentle, strong, and deeply faithful. Each reflection is accompanied by Bible verses, questions to ponder, and a brief prayer." — The Christian Century
