No secret oral tradition as extensive as this has ever been recorded, and none has ever presented a Gnostic view of Mary Magdalene as she is portrayed in this groundbreaking work--as a powerful holy woman, the innermost disciple, beloved wife of Jesus, and a Christed woman who is coequal with Jesus in the Christ revelation.

Magnificent!:
In over twenty years of mystical study I have never come across a book that has so illuminated the teachings of St. Mary Magdalene and Yeshua (Jesus).
