The Magdalen
Author: Bonnie Jones Reynolds
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781440172076
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 708
Book Description
For close to two thousand years, humanity has been misled and lied to by a cherry-picked New Testament a hodge-podge of re-hashed myth and legend, garbled history, misinformation and misunderstanding, outright fabrication, and crushing male bias all patched together by the victors in the struggle to control the sheep of The Kingdom. Across the centuries, this has been called reality by apostles, priests, rulers, and governments corrupted and consumed by arrogance and by the lust for power, riches, and control. For too long, Christians have drunk the blood, eaten the flesh, and gazed with perverted pleasure upon a gory death which supposedly relieved them of any need to accept responsibility for their own deeds. The Magdalen is a story whose time has come. Truth's time has come. Meet your friend, Jesus, who you can truly love, even adore, for the first time in your life. Laugh with him, love with him, dance with him! Sit beside him and learn of the true God. Then, witness the confusion that gave rise to the two-thousand-year old debacle that we call Christianity. Understand that the message was supposed to be Joy. And allow Jesus to come down off of that cross.

The American-born founder of a prominent fashion house, Contessa Olivia Brunamonti, is mistaken for her daughter and kidnapped by a group of Sardinian shepherds. They’re holding her deep in the Tuscan hills and have demanded a huge sum for her return. Her daughter failed to report the incident for over a week, and the family’s assets have been frozen by an Italian government that forbids paying ransom. But the kidnappers can’t release their victim without being paid—it would set a bad precedent. And Guarnaccia suspects another problem: Could it be that Olivia’s children don’t want to save their mother? Is this more than just a random crime?

The Magdalen Girls
Author: V.S. Alexander
Publisher: Kensington Books
ISBN: 1496706137
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Dublin, 1962. Within the gated grounds of the convent of The Sisters of the Holy Redemption lies one of the city’s Magdalen Laundries. Once places of refuge, the laundries have evolved into grim workhouses. Some inmates are “fallen” women—unwed mothers, prostitutes, or petty criminals. Most are ordinary girls whose only sin lies in being too pretty, too independent, or tempting the wrong man. Among them is sixteen-year-old Teagan Tiernan, sent by her family when her beauty provokes a lustful revelation from a young priest. Teagan soon befriends Nora Craven, a new arrival who thought nothing could be worse than living in a squalid tenement flat. Stripped of their freedom and dignity, the girls are given new names and denied contact with the outside world. The Mother Superior, Sister Anne, who has secrets of her own, inflicts cruel, dehumanizing punishments—but always in the name of love. Finally, Nora and Teagan find an ally in the reclusive Lea, who helps them endure—and plot an escape. But as they will discover, the outside world has dangers too, especially for young women with soiled reputations. Told with candor, compassion, and vivid historical detail, The Magdalen Girls is a masterfully written novel of life within the era’s notorious institutions—and an inspiring story of friendship, hope, and unyielding courage.
