At Jesus' Feet: The Gospel According to Mary Magdalene [Paperback]

Doug Batchelor (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 2000

"Someone to love me." That's all she wanted--all anyone really wants. We are addicts, "sinaholics," says the author, trying to fill with various addictions a gaping void in our hearts designed for God. Take Mary Magdalene,. She was a prosperous prostitute, but her life was one sad sordid story--until she met Someone who loved her with a pure, unconditional love. Ever afterward the shame of her past was eclipsed by her absolute devotion to the One who set her free.

Doug Batchelor unveils the beauty of the gospel with original insights through the eyes of Jesus' most dedicated disciple. This imaginative yet biblical retelling of Mary's experience clarifies several significant biblical teachings with a kaleidoscope of vivid illustrations. Discover a fresh picture of the gentle, loving Savior who without condemning or condoning our past offers us a new future as we, like Mary, linger at Jesus' feet.

5.0 out of 5 stars brings insight and enlightening, June 11, 2004

This review is from: At Jesus' Feet: The Gospel According to Mary Magdalene (Paperback)

"Historical Fiction", the point of view from Mary M. as she might have seen Jesus; more than just a novel, and deeply rooted in Scripture. Powerful book, greatly deepens understanding of Christ and our relationship with Him; though God warns us not to add to His Scriptures, although this book borders on adding opinion in the name of fact, it does so lovingly and in a complimentary way; it enables the reader to identify with the persons who were physically present "at Jesus' feet". Well researched, ties together Scripture from all across the Bible, the conclusions it reaches are well founded in the Word of God: enlightening. Presents the Passion in a complete, eye witness type account, to include what emotions a viewer must have had. I cannot recommend highly enough to new believers, old believers, and the not-yet believer.

I highly recommend this book! Batchelor brings a unique approach of telling a story in Mary's life and then follows it up with a short Bible based study section where you can make an application to your life. I love this book and if you are interested in learning more about the love of Christ, I believe you will enjoy it too!

This review is from: At Jesus' Feet: The Gospel According to Mary Magdalene (Paperback)

This book emphasized the fact that Jesus fully forgave Mary for her past life, and even wanted her to see how much He valued her, by appearing to her in the garden after He rose from the dead. Because of Him. she knew she was not trash, but a daughter of the King. Need an easy to read book that shows you how easy it is to be saved? Read this book. Just believe on our Lord Jesus Christ.
