Boston, Mass. – (2012) – Mary Magdalene was the first person named by any of the authorized gospels as a witness to Jesus’s crucifixion, His burial, and the discovery of His tomb to be empty. Could her soul have longed for Jesus since she lost Him at an early age by such violence and controversy? In author Renee Michelle Christian’s new novel, A Life Aligned With Mary Magdalene, this topic is explored as she tells the story of a modern-day Mary, who longs to find her Prince Charming; just as her predecessor Mary Magdalene longed for Jesus.
At three years old, Mary’s family relocated from Germany back to the United States with the military. Her ancestors originated from Paris, France. She grew up a troubled child with the war’s rippling effect on her family. In her teenage years, her life became aligned with Mary Magdalene as suggested by a stranger. Each decade that passed, she was reminded of her similarity to Mary Magdalene in terms of her appearance and character. Feeling her soul is misplaced, she longs to find her Prince Charming who connects her to her roots.
Following a near death experience and a life of trauma, she finds herself suddenly standing before the man of her dreams—a man she had met twenty-seven years prior and longed to be reunited with. A spiritual sensation takes over, and as independent and resourceful as she is, her longings for deep and lasting intimacy supersede any selfish inclinations. Could Mary have come to prepare the way for Mary Magdalene’s second coming in balance of man and woman, Jesus and Mary?
A modern-day fairy tale worthy of dalliance, A Life Aligned with Mary Magdalene is a story of a soulful reunion with love, honor, trauma, triumph, and faith intertwined.
