This book was culled from the 4 volume work of her visions "The Life of Jesus Christ". These visions which deal with Mary Magdalen really fill in the gaps about her and just blow away all the fluffy scholarship that has been popping up the last number of years. You start reading and are just drawn into the visions some of which are very intense. After reading this I am definitely going to pick up the 4 volume set it is taken from. The one thing that I definitely took away from this is that though one was saved once you have the chance to fall away again into a worse situation that before but still be able to saved again if one is particularly penitent. Also the verse from Revelations which referred to those who are lukewarm being spit out, takes on some new meaning at least to me in these pages where those who were very repentant could be saved immediately and those who were lukewarm in their approach to Jesus were told to go home and reform their lives. This is definitely worth rereading. ( )
