The #1 New York Times bestselling author addresses the controversial questions about the life of Jesus Christ and the women in his life.
An extraordinary message from 'possibly the most famous psychic in the world,'(Mystic Living Today)Sylvia Browne: 'In writing this book, I was amazed to find out that I actually had visions of what was happening...a manifestation of the infusion that I was getting from God. God does work in mysterious ways.'
Many controversies have gone unanswered in Christianity for centuries. Now, told from the unique perspective only Sylvia Browne could bring, The Two Marys focuses on the greatest of those extraordinary unknowns: the two most important women in Jesus's life-his mother and his wife-whose profound influence on him has been marginalized by Christian churches and reinvented out of contradictions, misrepresentations, and fabrications. Finally, Sylvia Browne uncovers the hidden history of these two remarkable women in a story that will challenge the very basis of traditional Christian faith.
Sylvia Browne is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Other Side and Back, Blessings from the Other Side, and The Mystical Life of Jesus.
Anyone with a Christian background has been spoon fed the knowledge that Mary was the mother of Jesus, Jesus died for our sins on the cross and Mary Magdalene was a harlot. But what if those assumptions are incorrect?
Sylvia Browne provides us with an alternate possibility. Mary set Jesus' feet upon the good road and helped to guide much of his early life, but many of his teachings may very well have been passed down to us through Mary Magdalene, Jesus' first and best apostle. This was an unheard of concept in a male dominated society! Jesus may also have married Mary Magdalene and casting her as a woman of sin seemed to be an excellent way to disguise the truth.
In addition, Ms. Browne wraps us up in the intrigue surrounding the crucifixion. Joseph of Arimatea was a rich and powerful man in Christ's day, rich enough to insist that Jesus receive the minimal flogging, that his legs not be broken so Jesus could continue to breathe on the cross, and that the condemned man be removed from the cross quickly to increase the chances that Jesus might survive. If Jesus had been cared for in an above ground tomb, he might have survived his ordeal and, indeed, lived on in what was then a much more remote corner of the world.
Although the Christian in me places some doubt on these suppositions, the intellectual in me is fascinated by these possibilities. I intend to read on and discover the truth. Thank you, Ms. Browne, for lighting a new candle of knowledge in my brain. May it become a roaring flame.

I liked this book accept that at times I found myself impatient because some things were said over and over again. If she had condensed the book, giving us the much craved information we buy these books for, then it would be half the size. Getting to the point is important to some of us.
