Audio Books

Since I don't have the time these days to cuddle up on the couch with a good book and a blankie, I sit behind the wheel of a noisy truck and stick in a good or not so good audio book. I think I have listened to at least 100 of them in 2007. I slacked off for a month and picked up another one. What a great story. Fact or Fiction remains to be known on the topic of the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. I highly recommend the audio book or book for anyone with an open mind to listen and read. I bought a new unsealed version on the "Mother Ship" Barnes and Noble site for 1.99. crazy me, it cost $6.00 to rent it. This one is a keeper


Here is the review as described on the Barnes and Noble site.....


A GRIPPING THRILLER AND A PROFOUND SPIRITUAL JOURNEY THAT REVEALS THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD!


Two thousand years ago, Mary Magdalene hid a set of scrolls in the rocky foothills of the French Pyrenees, a gospel that contained her own version of the events and characters of the New Testament. Protected by supernatural forces, these sacred scrolls could be uncovered only by a special seeker, one who fulfills the ancient prophecy of l'attendue -- The Expected One.


When journalist Maureen Paschal begins the research for a new book, she has no idea that she is stepping into an ancient mystery so secret, so revolutionary, that thousands of people have killed and died for it. She becomes deeply immersed in the mystical cultures of southwest France as the eerie prophecy of The Expected One casts a shadow over her life and work and a long-buried family secret comes to light. Ultimately she, and the reader, come face-to-face with Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist, Judas, and Salome in the pages of a deeply moving and powerful new gospel, the life of Jesus as told by Mary Magdalene.
