Summary: brings insight and enlightening
Review: "Historical Fiction", the point of view from Mary M. as she might have seen Jesus; more than just a novel, and deeply rooted in Scripture. Powerful book, greatly deepens understanding of Christ and our relationship with Him; though God warns us not to add to His Scriptures, although this book borders on adding opinion in the name of fact, it does so lovingly and in a complimentary way; it enables the reader to identify with the persons who were physically present "at Jesus' feet". Well researched, ties together Scripture from all across the Bible, the conclusions it reaches are well founded in the Word of God: enlightening. Presents the Passion in a complete, eye witness type account, to include what emotions a viewer must have had. I cannot recommend highly enough to new believers, old believers, and the not-yet believer.

Summary: A Very Misleading Title
Review: Be forewarned that this book is not at all what the title suggests. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Gnostic gospel attibuted to Mary Magdalene. Rather it takes a very fundametalist view of the role of Mary Magdalene in the Gospels of Matther, Luke and John. Batchelor uses Mary as a means to cover a number of subjects that are only loosely related to Mary's role in the Gospel stories. I would definitely NOT recommend this book if you are looking for something to challenge you both spiritually and intellectually.

Summary: An incredible review of God's love
Review: I highly recommend this book! Batchelor brings a unique approach of telling a story in Mary's life and then follows it up with a short Bible based study section where you can make an application to your life. I love this book and if you are interested in learning more about the love of Christ, I believe you will enjoy it too!
