The Testament of Mariam

De: Ann Swinfen

Narrado por: Serena Scott Thomas

"Today I had word that my brother Ya'aqôb is dead." When this news reaches Mariam, living in exile in the province of Gaul, memories of her girlhood in faraway Palestine are painfully awakened. For years she has blocked them from her mind, but as illness and old age overtake her, she begins to relive the time when she defied all propriety and convention and followed her charismatic brother Yeshûa and her betrothed Yehûd'a in their daring but perilous adventure. "We were young. We were going to change the world." Mariam shared the excitement, the fear and the mystery of the mission, but cannot forget the horror of its ending. With powerful resonances for today, The Testament of Mariam takes us into the turbulent world of rebellious Galilee under Roman occupation, and the courageous lives that altered the course of history.

Was excellent. A more believable story than the traditional Christian mythology. Like the change she made to the Judas part of the story.

Very disappointed

After listening to almost all of the other books written by Ann Swinfen this was awful. It has soured me toward any other books she may write and I will not purchase them.
