Magnify the Lord - Softcover

‘Lucidity, realism and a certain heart-warming quality, which reaches a climax in the quiet lyricism of the last few pages.’
Church Times

The words of Mary, known as the magnificat, are among the best loved in the English language. In this sensitive and original devotional study, Elaine Storkey uses her celebrated popular style to relate the words of the past to the world of today.

Drawing on her experience as a regular Thought for the Day contributor on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, her membership to the Church of England’s General Synod, and her wide popularity as a speaker, Elaine Storkey brings new light to Mary’s song. The promise by the angel, recorded in the Bible, that Mary will give birth to a child will resonate with women around the world.

Family, home, homelessness, the search for true happiness, generosity and power are all considered in this practical and compassionate book. This song of praise will speak to the soul.
