Mary Magdalene
By Diana Wallis Taylor
Long maligned as a prostitute or a woman
of questionable reputation, Mary Magdalene’s murky story seems lost to the
sands of time. Now a portrait of this enigmatic woman comes to life in the
hands of an imaginative master storyteller. Diana Wallis Taylor’s Mary is a
woman devastated by circumstances beyond her control and plagued with
terrifying dreams—until she has a life-changing confrontation with the Savior.
Taylor explores the story of Mary
Magdalene, the cherished only child of a successful Galilean, who suffers
family betrayal, extreme danger and a life filled with hopelessness. Could the new rabbi, Jesus, be the one to
heal and deliver her?
Diana Wallis Taylor is the author of the
novels Journey to the Well and Martha and lives in California.

My Thoughts:
If you enjoy novels based on Biblical stories or characters you will enjoy this book. I'm a fan of authors like Francine Rivers and Mesu Andrews who write novels such as these, and now I have a new author to add to my Biblical Fiction list. She writes in a way that makes you want to know more and to learn more, and I often re-read the Biblical story after reading novels like these to see how much was fact and how much was fiction, but I always enjoy them!
