Mary Magdalene

Mary’s childhood in Magdala leaves her with emotional scars she fears will never heal – until she meets Jesus.

Recognising the importance of Jesus’s work, she decides to do all that she can to support him, but what good can a woman do in a man’s world?

Will Mary ever be accepted by Jesus’s other disciples? What will she learn from the miracles she witnesses and from her many conversations with the Son of God? To Mary the message seems simple, so why can’t others believe?

After witnessing Jesus’s agonising death, Mary is the first to see the empty tomb, the first to see the risen Christ. What role can she play in spreading the news about Jesus after his death?

Crafted in a powerful literary style, this story of the life and times of Mary Magdalene will appeal to both young and old. Written in simple, vivid language, it has many engaging activities to aid understanding. The beautiful illustrations bring the story to life, while the 80-question end-of-chapter activities will help assess comprehension.
