Review title: Amazing Woman
Product review: Meera Lester presents an interesting and compelling book on Mary Magdalene, perhaps one of the most misunderstood people of all time. I had always believed she was a prostitute who gave it up and followed Jesus teachings for the rest of her life. Upon further study I find there is no Biblical proof that she was a woman of ill repute and I learned that the vatican had changed their teaching about that.This book gives a very interesting account of Mary Magdelene drawing from the Bible, the Gnostic writngs, and tradition. She is called the 13th apostle and some sources seem to indicate that she was closer to Jesus than the disciples. The book contains prayers to Mary Magdalene and devotions and ways to venerate her as a saint.I am interested in early church history and books that did not make it into the Bible. The Gospel of Mary, is one of these books. I found Lester's book interesting reading and a good contrbution to early church history. -- Valerie Lull, Author, Ten Healthy Teas
