Mary Magdalene Revealed: The First Apostle, Her Feminist Gospel & the Christianity We Haven't Tried Yet

Product Information

Read it, just because it’s so full of hope and beauty, I feel that it’s sparked a need to find out more about this side of Christ, the completeness of him through Mary and I’m now looking to read other books that the author recommends. Joan of Arc – “She listened to the voice of love inside her, and she believed it enough to let it guide her. If you have even a fleeting interest in spirituality or feminism, or you’re ready to challenge the old ideas of religion and look at them - especially Christianity - from a perspective that feels like it includes you, then this is definitely a book to read.

So much resonates that I can not recommend this book highly enough and for anyone that does choose to read it expect a course correction in understanding of this great religion and a personal healing in what was taken from us. Strangely, this past Holy Week I was inspired by my inner source Sophia, to follow Mary Magdalene and the other women on their journey. The author believes that through the centuries, the love preached by Christ, and continued to be taught by Mary, has been obscured by fear: fear of judgment, of abandonment, of being left out, and of not being saved.In fact, our purpose is to be fully human, to be a “true human being”- that is, a person who has remembered that, yes, we are a messy, limited ego, and we are also a limitless soul. What Jesus taught Mary Magdalene appears in The Gospel of Mary, but we will never know Christ’s teachings because portions of Mary’s gospel have been destroyed. From the author of REVEAL and How to Love Yourself (and Sometimes Other People) comes a shocking new exploration of the long-lost Gospel of Mary Magdalene.

I went home that day and made a copper tree of life, living cross vibrant and alive, and bearing much fruit. Mary Magdalene Revealed is one of my favourite books because by reading it I end up in a state of deep contemplation. Now it seems especially timely as a renewed debate rages over the role women should play in the Church.
