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.<br><br>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&#8217;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&#8217;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.<br><br>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 &#8220;apostle to the apostles.&#8221; 502775 2005 The Secret Magdalene: A Novel total:329|5:185|4:74|3:32|2:23|1:15| 329 1378 947 89 5 29 false false Sat Feb 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 06 20:09:08 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 09 14:03:31 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 25 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Mar 07 07:10:00 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 07 07:10:27 -0800 2008 4 24 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Jan 24 06:43:56 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 24 06:44:08 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 23 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Mar 29 09:46:48 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 19:41:31 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 24 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Mar 09 22:53:00 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 09 23:03:30 -0700 2008 5 23 false false Sun Apr 06 23:10:32 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 06 23:13:02 -0700 2008 5 21 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Jul 20 09:50:16 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 20 20:20:26 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 21 false false Mon Apr 21 17:08:11 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 23 18:18:33 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 21 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 09 08:48:57 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 09 08:54:02 -0700 2008 5 21 false false Thu Jun 05 22:10:50 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 22:12:36 -0700 2008 5 19 false false Fri Jun 27 16:41:32 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 17:05:41 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 18 false false Tue Jul 22 18:48:21 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 22 18:55:29 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 16 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Sep 24 09:31:20 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 29 14:56:37 -0700 2008 2 more...]]> 5 16 false false Thu Oct 02 17:31:10 -0700 2008 Wed Jan 14 19:16:30 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 16 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 19 04:27:17 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 04:38:59 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 16 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Dec 27 10:43:25 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 27 10:46:10 -0800 2008 5 16 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 05 22:04:41 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 05 22:21:25 -0700 2008 5 16 false false Thu Nov 13 10:45:17 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 13 10:45:34 -0800 2008 5 14 false false Sat Oct 11 09:37:00 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 09:37:35 -0700 2008 5 13 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 06 10:24:26 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 06 22:00:48 -0800 2009 more...]]> http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=514811
