Book - Divine by Karen Kingsbury

I read this library book in May 2006 and really enjoyed it. It was a very difficult book to read, but a very rewarding one, as well.
“Divine” is a modern day parable of Mary Magdalene, and the 7 horrors she might face in today’s world. The subject matter, though not graphic, was difficult to read. It included sexual abuse of a child and of women, physical abuse, contemplations of suicide, and other difficult subject matter. All of it leading Mary to the one inevitable truth - that Jesus is the one who loves her, who has always has, who always will, and that He is the one who gave his life for her, so that she can be saved. God had a plan for Mary’s life, as he does for us all.

I'd rate this one an 8 or 9 out of 10. Very good book.
