Magdalene

De: Angela Hunt

Narrado por: Darla Middlebrook

Mary Magdalene...

The controversial woman with a past only one Man could forgive. A true love story that changed the face of history.

"I was Miryam of Magdala, seller of fine fabrics and wife of Yaakov the fisherman. With my husband and son, I held a place of honor among my countrymen until a company of rogue soldiers took everything from me. I might not be Roman, but I knew injustice when I saw it. And I had been most grievously wronged."

In an era when women are sequestered and silenced, Miryam of Magdala lives a contended life until her son's careless gesture evokes a hostile action that shatters her serenity. With no hope of justice, Miryam commits an unthinkable act...and descends into depths of darkness that threaten her life and her sanity.

Even after Yeshua the Messiah dramatically restores her life, Miryam can neither forget nor forgive unresolved injustices. Prodded by a hunger for vengeance she will not deny, this woman of uncommon courage risks her life and her heart by drawing destiny into her own hands.

I enjoy listening to books I believe I will enjoy reading this story on kindle, there I will give a better review.

The narrator for this story didn’t keep me interested . Her reading sounded like she wanted to take a nap, because of exhaustion.
I love ♥️Angela Hunts books I have both kindle and audible. And I have given 5 stars for the others.

Magdalene

Magdalene is a well-crafted story about the life of this Biblical woman--a woman whom Jesus freed from demons. Some events are purely the author's ideas, but many are based upon the Bible account and seem plausible. The narrator did a good job of portraying various characters.
In this novel Mary suffers great loss and later seeks vengeance against the Roman soldiers. Her life is interwoven with that of Atticus Aurelius, a Roman centurion. The story opens with Mary on trial for a crime against Atticus and his son. There are many surprises and twists and turns, especially at the end. I recommend this book which I received through TBCN in exchange for an honest review.

forgiveness

this story has touched me in so many ways. thank you for touching people lives. May GOD continue to bless you 🙏

Excellent Book

I needed to increase the audible speed to 1.5 because it seemed very slow. Once increased, it was easier to listen. The detail of the time period was awesome! Author certainly investigated the time & she knows the Bible!

Disappointed (Spoilers)

First and foremost the narrator should just retire before she ruins another novel. Her voice is so slow and gruff that it made listening difficult to get through. As for the story , I find it hard to believe that Magdalene could possibly be so unforgiving for so long especially after being healed by Jesus and witnessing all she had seen and heard. I didn't feel much except for the murder of her family and her stolen son. Diana Wallis Taylor wrote the best story I've read thus far called Mary Magdalene if you want to be moved I would suggest this story however I don't think it is in audio.
