Song of the Beloved: The Gospel According to Mary Magdalene

The Jesus Years, Book 1

By: Lauri Lumby

Narrated by: Elizabeth Maher

Every story is true; some of them actually happened. Song of the Beloved is a provocative retelling of the Jesus story from the perspective of Mary Magdalene.

After 14 years of suffering with the debilitating effects of trauma, Mary is healed by Jesus. She then becomes his most enthusiastic and devoted disciple, later becoming his companion, co-minister, beloved, and wife. Designated the Magdalene, Mary is appointed to carry on Jesus’ ministry after his death.

A great work of fiction, inspired by scripture, historical documents, and ancient sacred texts, Song of the Beloved provides nourishment and inspiration for those in search of a relevant Christianity - with Jesus and Mary as two who lived the fullness of the human experience while teaching us how to love.

Painfully awful, historically inaccurate, and grating narration

Painfully awful, historically inaccurate and grating narration. Point of view is too modern to make the premise believable.
