In Daughter of Jerusalem, readers will quickly identify with Mary Magdalene - a woman of deep faith who used her wealth and influence to serve Jesus.
This fictionalized story of Mary Magdalene is, in the truest sense of the word, an inspirational novel for modern people who are looking to renew in themselves the message of Christ. It's the greatest story ever lived, told by one of the most famous women who ever lived, and it's a page-turner. Joan Wolf's years of success as a novelist enable her to combine storytelling and a faith plot in this beautifully written biblical fiction.

      Wolf, who retold the biblical stories of Rahab in The Scarlet Cord and Esther in The Reluctant Queen, now re-examines the life of Mary Magdalene. Here, readers see not the harsh prostitute of biblical lore but a much more complex Mary Magdalene; a kind, intelligent woman sold into a marriage she does not want. Wolf takes us through Mary's story to her first life-changing meeting with Jesus. VERDICT As Tosca Lee did with Judas in Iscariot, the author offers a more sympathetic portrait of a larger-than-life New Testament figure, making her more human, more innocent, more a victim of circumstance. A sure bet for fans of Jill Eileen Smith's "Wives of the Patriarch" series.
