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. “Magdalene’s Journey conveys the sense of awe and significance that envelopes the ultimate meaning of our existence,” says Nobel Prize nominee and systems scientist Dr. Ervin László.
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.
