From obscurity to renown, the Magdalene Secrets revealed. For over two thousand years the life of Mary Magdalene has been maligned in some quarters with the truth of her life being suppressed. Author Bettye Johnson brings to light the many missing fragments regarding the life of Mary Magdalene. Based upon years of research, Johnson weaves a story of suspense, mystery, adventure, abduction and romance. Moving from the present day across time to two thousand years ago, the mystery unfolds with a most unlikely quartet coming together. Two American women, one a research lawyer and the other a teacher on sabbatical, while hiking in the Pyrenees Mountains of southern France, discover by accident an unknown cave containing never before discovered scrolls written by Mary Magdalene herself. Not wanting the scrolls to be hidden away for years as others have been, the two women pair up with a rich American businessman and a disillusioned French priest with a mission to get the scrolls translated and given to the world. At last, the tale of Mary Magdalene with her connection to the Black Madonna, her childhood, her education, her relationship with Jesus, her mission and her spirituality is made known with its many twists and surprises. The reader's interest is riveted with anticipation for the next page from beginning to the end with its passion, intrigue and spiritual insights. Definitely a page-turner thriller that is powerful to its surprising climax.

From the Publisher:

Bettye Johnson's dynamic novel is an Independent Publisher Book Award 2006 Winner. Johnson has brought Mary Magdalene to life as a real woman who had her own mission and her own following. The scrolls are in the form of Mary Magdalene's journal of her life from birth until the end of her own ministry. This book is action-packed and a real thriller with overtones of the spiritual aspect of Mary Magdalene.

From the Author:

Having done many years of research, I have written about Mary Magdalene as I have conceptualized her to be. Some will see her as an ideal, which she is. Mary Magdalene was a trail blazer for women and unfortunately knowledge of her has been suppressed for hundreds of years.
