Book Synopsis

Exceptional Devotion – Exceptional Honor, Volume I of the Gripped For Glory series, is a biblical biography of Anna the Prophetess

In many ways, Anna was an ordinary, simple, first-century Jewish widow. But unlike many of her contemporaries, a single master-passion consumed her life. She loved the LORD her God with all her heart, mind, soul and strength. And in the Gospel of Luke we discover how God used one woman’s exceptional devotion to testify to an entire nation, “Messiah has come!”

In three short verses found in the second chapter of Luke’s gospel, the author gives us a glimpse into the life of this extraordinarily devout Jewish woman. She was not a literary device or mere allegorical figure placed within the gospel records. Anna was a real woman who walked the earth at the dawn of man’s redemption. She lived and loved and laughed as women have done since time began. Anna had hopes and dreams similar to all women. And like many before her, Anna experienced tremendous grief and was well acquainted with sorrow. But when youthful dreams for happiness were shattered, Anna refused to allow self-pity or bitterness to pollute her character or dictate the course of her life. Instead she made the decision to pursue a most intimate relationship with the Holy One of Israel, serving day and night in His temple. God rewarded this aged widow’s exceptional devotion in a culturally uncommon manner. Anna was shown the identity of Israel’s long-awaited Redeemer and she became the first missionary to the Jewish nation.
