In fact, our purpose is to be fully human, to be a "true human being"- that is, a person who has remembered that, yes, we are a messy, limited ego, and we are also a limitless soul. I’ve never agreed with the version of the Bible dictated to us through a man’s lens, the men-only club, etc.

Read it, just because it’s so full of hope and beauty, I feel that it’s sparked a need to find out more about this side of Christ, the completeness of him through Mary and I’m now looking to read other books that the author recommends. If this is all you read, if you put down this book at the end of this sentence, know that this is the most important message of Mary’s gospel: we are inherently good. Add study sociology and criminology at university, so knew that they were cultural norms and values that get passed down, but it’s only since getting older and saying things like this you realise how many untruths have been in circulation for so long.the book is more like a 'diary' of the authors religious experience which also includes Mary Magdalene. The author narrates her own work, so the only benefit from the sample is that you can hear what her voice sounds like.

What’s so fascinating to me is that each of these mystics arrives, living in different countries and different centuries, at the same truth: that if we do the spiritual work to allow our soul to pass through the seven stages that exist within us as a part of the human condition, the soul merges with divine love. most believe that Mary Magdalene arrived first in Saintes-Marie-de-la-Mer and preached for many years along the coastal parts of Southern France. Meggan Watterson spends 226 pages trying to convince the reader that we are all inherently good, and that sin doesn’t mean what the Christian church has said it means.Most recently they have published a poetry collection titled Maybe (Not) Her, which explores themes of bisexuality and polyamory. MEGGAN WATTERSON is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Mary Magdalene Revealed: The First Apostle, Her Feminist Gospel, And the Christianity We Haven’t Tried Yet. It’s deep, wise, thought provoking, inspirational, feminist, spiritual and it seemed to open up a new piece of my soul with every page. The evidence within these pages, both scholarly and lived experience, will change you on a cellular level as you remember what has been forgotten for thousands of years, but has never been untrue: that the feminine is sacred and holy.

I’d much rather she start a new church and go from there, instead of trying to rebrand the old church. This is a truly beautiful book that seeks to reframe the early history of Christianity and to liberate the power that by birth right belongs to us all (both male and female) that the church so greedily sequestered all those years ago. Thanks Meggan, for bringing the feminine back to build a new church, the way it was always intended. I feel like I have gorged this book on a day I was freed of my mothering duties, allowed myseld to be still and discovered the knowing I always knew was true.The core of this book is about Mary Magdalene and the lost teachings of Christ, that we find God in ourselves and heaven on earth. A shocking lack of references, very little content from the actual gospel of Mary Magdalene, and too much blog-post type memoir/sermon-like writing. Its pages will reveal the humble power of your soul and a truth that can be felt but cannot be put into words.

A thought provoking, insightful, humble, reflection of an ancient manuscript and a kind of coming-of-age of the author, as she navigates the challenges and the yearnings her own life presents. It was exactly what I need to read when I read it, and it was recommendation from another woman and mentor of mine. Now it seems especially timely as a renewed debate rages over the role women should play in the Church. While I get that part of the message she's trying to share is an interconnectedness in our human experience, it gets a little old to read about the significance she finds in every place she goes and in colors and numbers and eggs and thread and people and childbirth and tattoos and aura readings and yoga and headlamps and skinny dipping and shapes and articles of clothing and.My heart melted a little when I read about her meeting with Rose, who I was sure (and right) it was the lovely Lyna Rose Jones, one of my guiding stars in the ways of Mary Magdalene. Meggan Watterson is the spiritual teacher to spiritual teachers and this book is a road map to the heart of Christ’s message.
