Mary Magdalene is the closest eyewitness to Jesus of Nazareth. Song of Magdala brings to life her legend. The saying, "Behind every great man is a great woman," applies to this book. Jesus, the great man, receives the help and support of this great woman. Mary Magdalene gives her eyewitness account of Jesus' ministry from their days in Galilee and Judea, all the way to his death and resurrection. She reveals much that history never recorded-personal and public aspects about Jesus and the disciples; things that only she is privy to-secrets that Jesus shared with only her. This is a very timely book in that the world needs a clear example of forgiveness and unconditional love. Through Mary's experiences one can see the example of ending racism, hatred, and resentment. Jesus ended the Old Testament tenet, "A tooth for a tooth..." He introduced a new concept of "turning the cheek," translated into modern terms, if you hit me, I must forgive it and return it with an act of love. Her life in history is a legend but her name is recorded in the books of the New Testament. Who was this great woman who walked and lived with the greatest man that ever lived? Read and find out their true to life story.

Mary Magdalene was a key figure in Christ's life. She was present at his Crucifixion and she was also the first person to see him resurrected. According to Dan Brown's multi-million selling THE DA VINCI CODE, she was also his wife and the mother of his children. In the Gospels, she is described as an outcast and a harlot. This may be due to the disciples' jealousy of Jesus' love for Mary and the closeness of his relationship with her that was not replicated in his relationships with them. In SECRETS OF MARY MAGDALENE, Dan Burstein explodes the myths and analyses who Mary Magdalene was, the true nature of her relationship with Christ and her role in the Christian faith.

This book tells the story of Magdala, the Hometown of Mary Magdalene, with captivating rhymes and illuminating and delightful illustrations. Although Magdala is mentioned several times in the scriptures, it came lately as a huge surprise, when remains of this ancient fishery town were revealed on the western shores of the Sea of Galilee in the Holy land. Most exciting was the discovery of a stone block, on which a Menorah shape was engraved. It tells that the artist must have seen the original Menorah in the Temple before 70 AD (year of the Temple's destruction). In short years Magdala has already become a very special place of history and culture, as it provides an authentic location to walk and pray where Jesus taught, and to connect with the first century life of Jesus' followers.

In the last few years, 9/11, a tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and many other tragedies have shown us that the vision of God in today's churches in relation to evil and suffering is often frivolous. Against the overwhelming weight and seriousness of the Bible, many Christians are choosing to become more shallow, more entertainment-oriented, and therefore irrelevant in the face of massive suffering. In Suffering and the Sovereignty of God, contributors John Piper, Joni Eareckson Tada, Steve Saint, Carl Ellis, David Powlison, Dustin Shramek, and Mark Talbot explore the many categories of God's sovereignty as evidenced in his Word. They urge readers to look to Christ, even in suffering, to find the greatest confidence, deepest comfort, and sweetest fellowship they have ever known.
