The Color Of Wine: A Story Of Mary Magdalen

A romantic novel with spiritual overtones, The Color of Wine is a fictional love story involving one of the more fascinating characters in the Gospels. In a world ruled by Rome, Mary of Magdala, the most beautiful and expensive courtesan in the eastern Provinces, has vowed out of loyalty to her Jewish heritage not to accept Roman lovers. But when she meets Centurion Valerius, the captain of Pontius Pilate's bodyguard, her life changes -- only to be transformed again in an even more shattering way when she becomes a follower of the Jewish rabbi whom some believe to be Israel's long-promised Messiah.
