The author's ability to make the reader feel like she is right there, through her beautiful descriptions of all the lovely settings featured throughout the book, just added to the feeling of 'this is the truth I have known all along.' Her spiritual message of the gentleness and love that our Creator had in mind for its children verified what I have believed all along.Â…Can't wait for the movie!" ~Casey Kinney, Real Estate Broker"The Magdalene Dispensation springs to life with vivid scenes from 2000 years ago. We are privileged to be with Mary, Yeshua, Martha, Ruth, and Sarah as they confront tremendous forces and emotions that have shaped history. Revelations about Mary's role as a master and partner to Yeshua and their beautiful relationship ring true. Even if you do not believe the story, it will rock your world and give you much food for thought. This book is like a rich meal. You will want to read, digest and savor it. Lona Lyons is a brave new author who will no doubt provide us with further revelations in the remaining two books of the trilogy." ~Carole Prism, Screen Writer"Like most women I'm drawn to books written about women, especially biographies of real women. I started reading The Magdalene Dispensation as an entertaining novel about four fictional women. While enjoying the unfolding story, I became more and more aware of what it was triggering inside me. I would be thinking about someone or some situation in my life that was creating an emotional reaction and causing me to mumble inside my head. After reading a few pages I would realize that the emotions had calmed and the mumbling changed altogether to an affirmation of who I am and how I can better live with that moment. It was absolutely amazing! I now understand the meaning of the message (in the book), 'Heroes are made, not born,' because it takes constant vigilance. The Magdalene Dispensation is a truly inspiring book that reaches deep inside you. I only hope I can keep that positive dialogue with myself going between now and the time the next book (in the trilogy) appears." ~Karen Valentine, Artist/Dancer |
