Magdalene’s Journey is a Finalist in New Age, Spirituality and Religious Fiction
For Immediate Release
San Francisco, CA (June 8, 2025)—The 2025 Indie Book Award Winners were announced in June and Magdalene’s Journey, the best-selling rich and visionary tale of Mary Magdalene’s life and teachings by Renee Blodgett and Anthony Compagnone, was selected as a Finalist in 3 categories: New Age, Spirituality and Religious Fiction.
The Next Generation Indie Book Awards are judged by leaders in the indie publishing industry, many of whom have had long careers at major publishing houses. Independent book publishing companies operate independently of the major conglomerates that dominate the book publishing industry. Indies include small presses, larger independent publishers, university presses, e-book publishers, and self-published authors.
Magdalene’s Journey challenges a much-filtered and archaic narrative that has dictated to humanity how to understand history, the Abrahamic religions, and the pivotal roles of women, serving as a significant upgrade to an outdated paradigm and distorted storyline.
“Reading this remarkable book will open up the depth of your awareness and consciousness that the reader never knew she had,” said renowned scholar, futurist and award-winning author Dr. Jean Houston. In response to the distorting power that has prevailed for far too many years, the book also highlights the need to rebalance the masculine and feminine energies in the world, starting within each one of us. Part of this task is understanding not only the important role of Magdalene but also the vital, often unrecorded, roles women have played throughout the millennia. Magdalene’s evocative and enthralling voice embodies the divine feminine within us, emerging at this pivotal moment in human evolution.
Although this is a work of fiction, it was inspired by experiences in the authors’ own lives. The book presents a modern enhancement to reality as humanity has been conditioned and wired to accept it with our linear minds and constructs.
Magdalene’s Journey is available on Amazon in paperback (ISBN: 978-0-9842507-0-7), hardcover (ISBN: 978-0-9842507-3-8) and eBook (ISBN: 978-0-9842507-1-4) and numerous online bookstores, including BarnesandNoble.com. An audio version will be released later in 2025.
