Narrative As Books The Book of Love (Magdalene Line Trilogy #2)

I just read alot of the reviews. Seems to me that there are two camps; one which is severely disappointed by it being a "rip-off" of DaVinci Code. Gosh!, aren't people who write historical fiction allowed to use the same historical thread for a platform?
Others, like myself really enjoyed it because it is fun to simply think about things. History is always written by the victors, but as near as we can tell, it is "factual" that the Church did cherry pick from the myriad of written biblical records to produce "the Word of God".
So we have a choice; we can either complain because we simply would rather complain rather than consider possibilities OR we can read it and wonder if anything in it resounds within our lives.
For the complainers, go watch TV where "reality" takes place. For the others, take a look at other books that go more deeply into the Kinghts Templar, or Sacred Architechture. For the brave, read the Church excluded writings found in the Nag Hamadi collection or the Dead Sea Scrolls. (The Essene Gospels, The Gospels of Thomas, or the Gospel of Mary and yes, there is actually one!)

For those with a brain to think, let them think!

Piece Appertaining To Books The Book of Love (Magdalene Line Trilogy #2)
At first I thought this was an overly religious unimaginative attempt to capitalize on the Dan Brown Craze. Then the more I read, the more I understood that the author actually believed everything she was writing was true (or mostly true). I'm not sure exactly what to think about the plot now, it's a lot to consider and I don't have the evidence to be able to weigh. I did find the delivery corny, at times like a romance novel. I'm pretty sure I read "she had to catch her breath because it was so

Meh. That's probably the best comment I can make. I remember reading the first book, The Expected One, and thinking that it wasn't the greatest Magdalene story, but it was pretty darn good. And I was excited about the second part. Reading this one, tho, I had very mixed feelings. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] Summary (Taken mostly from Amazon because I can't bring myself to summarize all of this)"Maureen Paschal thought she might rest and work on her book after discovering the gospel written

It is difficult to critique one of an author's books without comparing it to his or her other books. 'The Expected One' was literally a revelation to me. It opened my eyes, mind, and heart to my Savior in a profound way. 'The Book of Love' follows the same characters, now on their search for the legendary Book of Love, a gospel written by Jesus' own hand. At the end of the book, McGowen explains the immense editing and condensing that was required to make the story readable. While she may

I thought the first volume was a cheap imitation of Dan Brown's DaVinci Code - this one is even worse.I was hoping for something fresh especailly after the author contacted me on GOODREADS to promote her new book after I didn't like the first one.I wanted to like it - I really did. But...it just didn't do it for me.

I thought this book was great. I pre-ordered and received a copy early. Hit up Amazon- they seem to be sending them out ahead of schedule if you want an early copy.The book picks up shortly after the 1st book left off. Maureen is on tour promoting the book she had written based on her controversial discoveries that Mary Magdalene was the wife of and a beloved disciple of Jesus. Maureen begins to have dreams of a book, written by Jesus on his teachings, referred to as the Book of Love. Maureen is

I did not feel as though this book lived up to the hype surrounding it. The characters were right out of a corny romance novel, and were not worthy of such a long-winded novel. I don't know, maybe it was the title - as well as the cover - which smacked of those silly romance novels. This just didn't "do it" for me. Maybe her next one will be better!

Again--interesting take on what may have been contained in Jesus' book of love. The middle gets a bit boring but I liked it for the most part. First book of hers was better.
