--WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER-- The Gospel of Mary Magdalene reveals a very different love story from the one we've come to refer to as Christianity. Harvard-trained theologian Meggan Watterson leads us verse by verse through Mary's gospel to illuminate the powerful teachings it contains.

A gospel, as ancient and authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian bible contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed. Fortunately, some rebel monks were wise enough to refuse-and thanks to their disobedience and spiritual bravery, we have several manuscripts of the only gospel that was written in the name of a woman: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene.

Mary's gospel reveals a radical love that sits at the heart of the Christian story. Her gospel says that we are not sinful; we are not to feel ashamed or unworthy for being human. In fact, our purpose is to be fully human, to be a "true human being"- that is, a person who has remembered that, yes, we are a messy, limited ego, and we are also a limitless soul.

And all we need to do is to turn inward (again and again); to meditate, like Mary Magdalene, in the way her gospel directs us, so that we can see past the ego of our own little lives to what's more real, and lasting, and infinite, and already here, within.

With searing clarity, Watterson explains how and why Mary Magdalene came to be portrayed as the penitent prostitute and relates a more historically and theologically accurate depiction of who Mary was within the early Christ movement. And she shares how this discovery of Mary's gospel has allowed her to practice, and to experience, a love that never ends, a love that transforms everything.

"This book is a masterpiece. I haven't been this excited or awakened by a book for a decade." - Glennon Doyle, New York Times best-selling author of Love Warrior and founder of Together Rising

True and beautiful

Passionately researched and beautifully conveyed. It’s reads like and adventure as much as an academic religious text. I loved this book!

Aka The REAL JC revealed via Mary

Listening to this book is like drinking in pure clean water when you were parched.

I’ve always had the sense that the Catholic Church does not portray Jesus correctly, especially that it has a recitation of being unworthy included in the mass— “Lord I am not worthy to receive you..” 😣 That has always seemed totally off base to me & now I know why —>Mary Magdalene revealed that Jesus does not see us as sinners or as unworthy, in fact the opposite: we are good, born worthy, always worthy & loved no matter what.

I love this book and so appreciate all the research & labor that went into it. Thank you Meggan 🙏🏼 Peace, Love & Joy be with you ❤️

Timely revelation

This book offers many great insights, which are important and necessary for this moment in history. The church needs to hear the message of Mary Magdalene as it is told here.

Holy Moses! This changed my life.

This book was completely art and transformational. It’s a read for all women and genders.

Look within

If anxiety has reached you, squeezes your heart, it is time to die to the ego and fight for your own voice to be heard from within. Read this and all of Meggan’s books and transform yourself every day through surrendering to your soul voice.
