My Soul Magnifies The Lord: Mary After The Crucifixion

Whatever happened to the Virgin Mary? She had a unique role in history but the Bible gives us just a hint of her character and no details about her life after the crucifixion of her son and savior. How did 12 men foment a religious rebellion that conquered the original fascist state: the late Roman Empire? Anyone who's been to a church committee meeting knows how contentious making simple changes are, even within an established religious community. How in the world do you start a new one, when everyone's life is on the line? What might have Mary done to help? My Soul Magnifies the Lord is a fictional account, set in the historical context, of what might have happened. Two thousand year old Scripture and legends are combined with a universal knowledge of motherhood to flesh out Mary and the main characters of the beginning of the Christian Church: Mary, Joseph, Jesus' siblings, Paul, Thomas, John, the writer of the Book of Revelation, and others. It is a love story, a salvation story and an adventure story. The outcome of Jesus' life, and the creation of his Church, was by no means assured, but depended on the faith and courage of thousands of people, starting with Mary: much venerated and little understood.
