Maggie Dale's on a fast track to nowhere...stuck at a dead-end job in podunk Ohio. Then a stranger comes to town. Does he have what she's looked for all her life? Could she really be a part of "something bigger?" Could love be something other than what she's always known? Controversy swirls around Josh Davidson, a former construction worker. Even CNN's covering his story. Maggie's caught in the middle, between hope and horror, as the world watches. Maggie's Story is a contemporary look at the compelling story of Mary Magdalene. What if it happened today? |
"Kindred Sisters does an excellent job of relating the concerns and problems of New Testament women to those concerns being dealt with today."(Susan Titus Osborn, The Christian Communicator) With profound insight, Dandi Daley Mackall makes the connections between the lives and faith of the women of the New Testament and contemporary women of all ages. The stories of Elizabeth, Mary, Anna, Mary Magdalene, Salome, Pilate's wife, and others invite meditation and reflection on contemporary issues of life and faith. Ideal for either personal reflection or group study, each story includes biblical references, a prayer, and activities that make New Testament women come alive. |
