Good choice of theme...though your writing style seems a bit choppy in most places, especially in Marie's interactions with Mary and Joseph. I also think you could work in a little more detail in your descriptions. I won't comment on you being a 7th Day Adventist (I'm Southern Baptist), though I don't think it wise for anyone to claim their denomination as "the best."

Keep writing, cuz you have lots of potential. :)

haven't read all of it yet, but good job. I don't get how the police can kill a man 50 times on his wedding day, though.
