description: On the shore of the Sea of Galilee in first century Palestine a spirit possessed a woman Mary of Magdala-a generous and learned woman of business. Mary drew together a community of outcasts rescued from lives of poverty and humiliation. Longing for children she brought into her circle a Greek slave girl Demetria and adopted her as a daughter. Though she was a devout Jew it was natural for Mary to show compassion to all those who were looked upon as other-gentile prostitute and leper. Because of the demon that afflicted her Mary resolved never to wed. Still three men loved her. Marcus Quintius Severus quintessential Roman noble could have any woman he wanted. But not this woman for he had made a sacred vow never to speak to her of his love. Mummius gifted Egyptian scribe and magus served Mary as steward and physician. Jesus itinerant rabbi recognizing in Mary the Wisdom of God liberated her by driving out her demon in a terrible battle. This book is the story of how Mary brings her spiritual power to light as leader and beloved disciple the one who truly understood Jesus' message and lived it fully.
