About the book . . .
In Daughter of Jerusalem, readers will quickly identify with Mary
Magdalene - a woman of deep faith who used her wealth and influence to
serve Jesus. This fictionalized story of Mary Magdalene is, in the
truest sense of the word, an inspirational novel for modern people who
are looking to renew in themselves the message of Christ. It's the
greatest story ever lived, told by one of the most famous women who ever
lived, and it's a page-turner. Joan Wolf's years of success as a
novelist enable her to combine storytelling and a faith plot in this
beautifully written biblical fiction.

Reader Review . . .
Mary of Magdala, Mary Magdalene, one of the most famous women of the Bible, has captured our imaginations for centuries. Who was she? What was her relationship with Jesus? How did she live? And what was her life like after we last read of her in the Bible?
These are the questions Joan Wolf attempts to answer in her fictional novel, Daughter of Jerusalem. Aside from the fact that I don't agree with the theory that Mary Magdalene and Mary, sister of Lazarus and Martha, were the same person, this was a well-written and interesting novel. The places and times come alive for the reader and the characters feel like real people. Overall, well-written and, perhaps most importantly, reverently done.
