Joseph A. Mussomeli's new book, The UnChristmas Story: The One Who Said No ($11.99, paperback, 9781498494885; $5.99; eBook, 9781498494892) is part alternate history, part moral fable, and part Christian philosophy. This book seeks to entertain as it explores a crucial, but all too often overlooked aspect of the Christmas story. This story, set in Judea approximately 150 years before the birth of Jesus, seeks to explore some of the challenges and doubts that probably beset Mary as she struggled to accept God's offer. While Judith, the heroine of this story, ultimately rejects God's offer, the fears and temptations she wrestles with are likely the same ones that Mary confronted. She is made of real skin and bone, with blood and not just grace flowing through her veins. Mary, like Judith, must have been someone with deep fears and seductive temptations that she must have struggled to overcome.
