Unveiling Mary Magdalene

Discover the Truth About a Not-So-Bad Girl of the Bible




This is the third in a hit series of books--repackaged and updated for a new generation of readers--that began a phenomenon featuring Liz Curtis Higgs' unique brand of "girlfriend theology" in looking at bad women of the Bible. This time, as Liz examines a woman considered mad (Mary Magdalene) and what her life teaches today's modern woman, both Christian and non-Christian readers will be drawn to the fact unearthed from fiction.

The veil has been lifted.

Discover the Gospel truth about the most myth-understood woman of the New Testament. Was Mary Magdalene a prostitute? An adulteress? The wife of Jesus? An ancient goddess? Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Bad Girls of the Bible and Really Bad Girls of the Bible, combines heartfelt contemporary fiction with extensive biblical research to bring to life the real Mary Magdalene of the Bible.

With her own eyes, she saw him.
With her own ears, she heard him.
With her own hands, she touched him.

Unveiling Mary Magdalene
opens with the fictional journey of Mary Margaret Delaney, a madwoman adrift in modern Chicago. Her moving story, closely paralleling the biblical account, is followed by a verse-by-verse study of the first-century Mary Magdalene and her life-changing encounters with the Christ.
 
“Liz has done it again! What hope and promise this will bring.” 
—Kay Arthur

“The unforgettable portrait of a courageous woman.”
—Rebecca St. James
