Natt90 | Mar 9, 2023 |   ) swbesecker | Feb 28, 2022 |  ) cemagoc | Aug 8, 2016 | Back when I was a child I loved telling everybody all the stories that were told in the children's bible. I especially loved the story about the 2 women fighting over a baby and the king offering to cut the child in half. How scary but fascinating. Yes even as a young child I was intrigued by blood, horror and cruelty. (I have become an avid true crime reader and TV wise I prefer reality which means I watch Reality TV or documentaries. So where was I. O yes I was looking forward to reading it so I began 2 nights ago, lying in bed with some chocolate in my mouth, anticipating a good story. Oh how I suffered, what was this weird beginning about 2 girls who were apparently able to talk with ghosts or the ghosts spoke from them. Then a visitor just walks into their room. Apparently that is all normal back in those days and the one day this guy brings them to a few other weird people. Geez I tried, I even looked up this book on my kindle thinking I could not be the only one who really did not get though this book. How wrong I was. 5 star reviews everywhere. So I kept trying. Apparently it must be me cause the whole world was raving about this book. After struggling some more it suddenly became clear in my head. (Yes a rarity I confess. So call the papers) I did not like it so who cares that everybody and their dogs love it? So I am Giving up and I feel so happy and delirious. Yee Haw!!!

Pertence a Série
Raised like sisters, Mariamne and Salome are indulged with riches, position, and learning-a rare thing for females in Jerusalem. But Mariamne has a further gift: an illness has left her with visions; she has the power of prophecy. It is her prophesying that drives the two girls to flee to Egypt, where they study philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy in the Great Library of Alexandria. After seven years they return to a Judaea where many now believe John the Baptizer is the messiah. Salome too begins to believe, but Mariamne, now called Magdalene, is drawn to his cousin, Yeshu'a, a man touched by the divine in the same way she was during her days of illness. Together they speak of sharing their direct experience of God; but Yeshu'a unexpectedly gains a reputation as a healer, and as the ill and the troubled flock to him, he and Magdalene are forced to make a terrible decision. This radical retelling of the greatest story ever told brings Mary Magdalene to life-not as a prostitute or demon-possessed-but as an educated woman who was truly the "apostle to the apostles."
