Mary is just an ORDINARY GIRL ...

uncertain of what her future holds

suffocating under Roman oppression

watching as her family falls apart.

She's waiting for God's Word to come to life

THE PROMISE will change everything.


Megan Rebekah Cupit has taken the Nativity story and rewritten it like you've never heard it before. She has used her own experiences as a teenager to imagine what it must have felt like to be a teenager in Rome-dominated Jerusalem and bring us into Mary's world: her fear and uncertainty at becoming betrothed to a stranger, the wonder of encountering a messenger of God, the bravery at choosing to face an unmarried pregnancy in a culture that would shame and shun her, and the overwhelming grace that surrounded and protected her.


The Promise drops you right into Mary's life, shows you what her turmoil must have felt like, and draws you along her journey to Bethlehem. A must-read!
