Title: The Mary We Forgot: What the Apostle to the Apostles Teaches the Church Today Author: Jennifer Powell Mcnutt Narrator: Nan Mcnamara Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 49 minutes Release date: November 12, 2024 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Mary Magdalene's life was transformed when she was healed by Christ and joined his ministry from Galilee to Jerusalem. The Gospels teach that she was also a witness at the cross and the first one sent by Christ to preach his resurrection. Yet her story is often confused, scandalized, and undervalued by the church. In The Mary We Forgot, award-winning church historian and theologian Jennifer Powell McNutt unpacks Scripture and history to reveal the real Mary Magdalene: the first apostle of the good news and a model of discipleship for both men and women today. McNutt also invites listeners along on her journey through southern France, tracing the path remembered by some church traditions as where Mary Magdalene spread the gospel. Christians will learn from the disciple known as the 'apostle to the apostles' how to embrace Jesus's calling to 'go and tell' with faith and courage. They'll also be encouraged by the reminder that God calls ordinary, imperfect, and unexpected people to share the good news of Jesus Christ. The hope of remembering Mary Magdalene is ultimately to better know the one to whom she pointed, the risen Christ.
