Here's what readers are saying about

Unveiling Mary Magdalene
Discover the Truth about a Not So Bad Girl of the Bible

"I just finished reading Unveiling Mary Magdalene and felt I had to let you know what an impact it had. This book took a figure robed in rumor and scandal and turned her into a real person for me. Reading the fictional part of the book was amazing, because I often work in that area of Chicago and the scenes you described were familiar. It was the historical portion, however, that reached me on many levels. Thank you for reminding us that there is no depth (whether insanity, impropriety or just plain old inhumanity) so deep that Jesus cannot reach us there."
   Mary Beth from Illinois

"Last year we started a Book Club for women at the congregation that I attend. I suggested that we do Unveiling Mary Magdalene. The women are absolutely loving it, and we have trouble keeping them for reading past where we are supposed to be each week. It really is a wonderful book. It touched me deeply when I read it myself and I knew that it would be a blessing to the women in our Book Club."
   Eleanor from Ontario, Canada

"What a blessing this book is to me! So many things about your 'Mary Delaney' said 'this was me.' Add my name to the already long list of those who now totally identify with Mary Magdalene...'I know my Redeemer LIVES!'"
   Julie via email

"I just read Unveiling Mary Magdalene after hearing so much about The Da Vinci Code and watching The Passion of the Christ. This book--so well documented and researched and tied to the Truth that I know--reinforced what I believe. I am safe and secure in the knowledge that Christ knows me, and I know Him!"
   Cheryl from Florida

"I have just finished Unveiling Mary Magdalene and enjoyed it thoroughly. The more I study the Bible, the more amazing it is to see it as a study guide for living instead of just a history book. Thank you for bringing the story of Mary Magdalene into a modern-day setting. I have never thought of the transformation of Mary in that light. It certainly makes sense."
   Ann from Michigan

"I am awed once again at how you portray your characters to be such real people who live among our society. You gave Jake no more accolades than an ordinary caring pastor in today's society, yet the compassion you had him show his parishioners mirrors exactly the compassion of Christ Jesus for his people. How it wrenched his heart to feel the sorrow of this poor disturbed woman, discarded by society...not to mention the wonderful things the women in the parish did to bind themselves together to help to make this woman well again. I've never seen anyone write so clearly about that kind of love before. We are reminded through your story that God lives where he wants to in anyone he wishes and it does not matter what we are, it only matters Who lives within."
   Tammy from Minnesota

"I have been searching all my life for a woman of God who could teach me properly just where I belong and fit in. How blessed I have been by your work. You are so thorough and complete and you make me do my own research. You have really helped to create in me a genuine heart for God."
   Helen from Minnesota

"I just finished reading Unveiling Mary Magdalene and have absolutely fallen in love with you, your writing style, and your wit! Thank GOD for your gift of writing and relating!"
   Tammy from Arizona

"I never thought a book would break me and speak to me the way that these three did. I identified with all the women but especially with Mary Magdalene. I cried, I laughed, but above all, I thanked God for forgiving all my sins. Your books have made me read the Bible more, be more patient with my husband, more attentive to my children, and have helped me seek God more. I am truly a changed woman."
   Carmen from Ohio

"I loved Unveiling Mary Magdalene. Have loved Mary M. for a long time and enjoyed every word you wrote. You penned what I have felt through my personal study of Mary. Thank you for correcting the errors surrounding this Bible character."
   Shirley from South Carolina

"I wanted to tell you how excited I am to be leading a Bible study this summer! I was praying about something to invite friends to. When I checked the Web site . . . behold: Unveiling Mary Magdalene! Everyone is very excited about it, especially given all the Da Vinci Code nonsense. We need to get back to Mary! And to the Word!"
   Janice from Georgia

"Unveiling Mary Magdalene really touched my heart. It got me thinking about how easily we put labels on people we don't understand, and how easy it is for people to label us. Thank you for the wonderful books you write!"
   Dianna from Indiana

"I have just finished reading Unveiling Mary Magdalene. I can't tell you in words how much I have been blessed. I just love the way you portrayed Mary. I am also very thrilled that your books are in Spanish. Hurray!"
   Dorcas from Pennsylvania.

   Vicki from Ohio.

"Unveiling Mary Magdalene is incredible. The detail and emotions you tell about are so real. I know a lot of women who suffer from depression and this book will help open doors and hearts to being more sensitive and compassionate."
   Sheryl from Tennessee.

"What a wonderful book this is. I have to confess that I thought I knew who Mary Magdalene was until I read this book. I have read many of your other words, too, but this one just touched me."

"How I pray that I have a ‘Mary’ heart! She truly followed and obeyed Christ. Thanks for opening up Mary and for opening my eyes and heart."
   Diane via e-mail.

"Working in The Salvation Army with women addicts I saw so many precious women I knew in that story . . . I cried so hard one night while reading that my husband came to our room because he thought something terrible had happened. I loved it! "
   Beth from New York.

"Your talent made Mary Magdalene come alive in fresh new ways! I have come closer to Jesus through your book. Your writing has truly brought Him glory!"
   Angie from Georgia.

"Unveiling Mary Magdalene is awesome. Thanks for teaching me not to accept the world’s explanations, but to dig the Word out for myself."
   Doris via e-mail.

"I am really enjoying your book, Unveiling Mary Magdalene. I spent the first 31 years of my life reading books on witchcraft and demons. I went years thinking I was crazy. It took both of my children getting sick before I fell to my knees and asked Jesus to come into my heart. When I get to Heaven, I want to see Jesus first, and second I want to see Mary Magdalene because I can really relate to her."
   Lisa via e-mail.

"Bravo! I loved Unveiling Mary Magdalene! When I finished I was so full of joy. Thank you for a truly inspirational story and study."
   Patti from Alabama.

"The book Unveiling Mary Magdalene was amazing. Thank you for clearing up any misconceptions I had. It’s an inspiration to all who have had demons and have come to know Jesus and his forgiveness."
   Lisa via e-mail.

"As a Bible teacher, thank you for writing your book about Mary Magdalene. For years I’ve been saying, ‘There is absolutely no Scripture to verify Mary’s career as a prostitute!’ This poor woman. Talk about being misunderstood. I just wanted to say, ‘Good job!’"
   Eve via e-mail.

"I just read Unveiling Mary Magdalene. Many of the things that happened in the book are like many experiences of my life and my friends. Thank you for your talent."
   Phyllis from Michigan.

"I so enjoyed Unveiling Mary Magdalene—very thought-provoking and educational. An awesome book."
   Zanese from Georgia.

"I just finished Unveiling Mary Magdalene and loved it! The way you combined a fictional, modern Mary story with biblical background on the real Mary was done so well. I learned a lot about Mary and how I should treat ‘Marys’ I encounter in my life. I love your writing style (and honesty!) that makes me feel like you are writing to me!"
   Becky via e-mail.

"I have just finished reading Unveiling Mary Magdalene and am amazed. You talked about sooo many things that I had never really thought about. As the wife of a minister, one would think I would be a lot more aware of the various myths and mistreatment of Scripture. I can't wait to get my hands on your earlier ‘Bad Girl’ books."
   Mary via e-mail.

"My heart broke for Mary Margaret Delaney. I have come out of a two-year-long depression, and by God’s grace, and with the help of a Christian psychiatrist, I’m whole. I appreciated how Mary Margaret’s illness was presented and the sensitivity with which her suffering was portrayed. Your courage and honesty have given me courage to share with some of the patients I work with."
   Sara from Texas.

"From the fictional story of MM, to the historical story of MM, to those evocative questions at the end of each section—I don’t think I have ever felt quite so drained, or exposed, after finishing a book. God bless you."
   Janet from Ontario, Canada.
