About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

DivineDivine by Karen Kingsbury
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This had been a Free Friday selection, and I will read books outside my preferred genres when they are offered for free.
This Christian fiction is a modern retelling of the story of Mary Magdalene as it may have happened to the character of Mary Madison. There is a study guide at the end of the book so this may be useful for a discussion group of church ladies.
I found the proselytizing and sermonizing to be too heavy-handed for me to give it more than 3 stars.
