Book Details

Celebrate the women who followed Jesus!

“Blake has no problem delivering a huge story of redemption on a grand historical and societal stage. Celebrate womanhood in Woman Redeemed.”



—Barbara Sharp Milbourn of Writers in the Sky



“I was spellbound by this story.”



—Patrick Mackeown, founder of Litarena



Why would a Jewish woman in the first century C.E. follow a renegade teacher to an uncertain future? What would possess her to finance such a movement? And where would she, a single woman, get the money to do so?



All good questions, and yet, this is really all we know about the woman called Mary of Magdala...

Book Excerpt

FROM THE NOVEL: "These were the women of Magdala. There were new brides with little experience and wise grandmothers whose experience shown in their tired eyes. There was a woman of great strength who could lift two buckets at one time and a woman of greater strength whose fragile arms could comfort a weeping widow. There was a woman who smelled of the earth and seemed to be connected to its every whim, forewarning us of storms to come or promising healthy crops at harvest. There was a woman whose beauty and grace stopped even small children in their steps to gaze at her as she floated by. There was a simple woman who found God in small things like the greeting of an old friend and a philosopher who sought God in the depths of the human spirit. These were the women of Magdala, and now, I was one of them...We were one in that we were women, and yet, not a one of us was the same. Beauty in each and together, beautiful."
