St Mary's Secret Yvonne Crowe

St. Mary's Secret is a significant work, not just because it is so well written, but it provides a window on the early development of the Christian Church as Mary and the Apostles strive spread the good news that Jesus had risen from the dead amid intense persecution. And what is so impressive about this well-crafted story is fine details of end of Mary's days and how they were spent in devotion to her son. - Bill Cronin Author of Joe and the Governor There are many 'Conspiracy Theory' books since Dan Brown raised the lid of the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene in his Da Vinci Code book. Having said that, there are many which do not hold the reader as enthralled as Dan did and as Yvonne Crowe does in her present day historical sacred intrigues - Dianne Pegler Author of The Sacred Order Of The Magi Did her son die in vain?
