The Mary We Forgot What the Apostle to the Apostles Teaches the Church Today by Jennifer Powell McNutt

How much do you know about Mary Magdalene? Denigrated as a prostitute and revered as the first witness to Christ’s resurrection the next, Mary has been a complicated character in Church history. This lovely book, which I will read again, is a comprehensive but intimate look at Mary’s importance to Christianity and her example to us. The part that I enjoyed best is where the author conducts a personal search for Mary in France, and undertakes a forensic study of the myths  surrounding her.

Many religious books are quite dull and even ‘preachy’ bit this one is very accessable and easy to read.

I received a free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
