About this audiobook
“For over two thousand years my name has been printed in the holy book and buildings have been erected in my honor. Yet, men in ornate robes have trampled on my words, tainted my name, and hidden my story from you. The exceptional events of my life have been erased…”
Based on the life of Mary Magdalene, Magdala beautifully pieces together the hidden remnants from the past and masterfully weaves them into a fascinating tale about faith, love, and our connection with the Divine. Magdala transports readers 2000 years into the past as it follows Mary Magdalene on her journey from innocence to cherished healer, sacred confidante, wife, and mother. A stirring work of historical fiction that explores the meaning of Mary Magdalene in the face of her erased history. Magdala is a fascinating invitation to re-examine the hidden messages in Jesus’ teachings and what it truly means to be a powerful woman.
Perfect for readers of Meggan Watterson, Paulo Coelho, Claire Heartsong, and Clarissa Pinkola Estes, this is the lost story of Mary Magdalene as it should have always been told.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story is very well written with a beautiful story of romance, courage and love. I guess it kinds of gave another version of story about how Maria Madalena would be instead of the version from the Bible.
It did reveal a mystery of the Bible and made it more real.
However, even I liked it very much as a made up story but i got a little sad mix feeling, disturbed and dislike toward the book.
Talking about acceptance of everything in the modern world. I guess it’s hard for me to understand nor accept a different twist of something so sacred, so holly as the Bible and the story of Jesus.
Is it my religion that made me feel that way, my education, my creation or belief?
Or it’s the lack of respect that i feel to something so holly?
I was brought up as a catholic and identify myself more as Buddhist. So I guess my comment is not really about religion but the respect to other people’s belief, the history, and the holly bible.1 person found this helpful
