The Two Lilies by Charles Rahn, available on Amazon.com, is a fast paced, easy read with plenty of verificable facts that will surpirse you. It is the story of Marcus, a priest who is just translating a book for a friend until he comes across the following words on page 42 of the book:
"This is the story of Jesus of Nazareth, as told by the two women who loved Him the most in this world: His mother, and me, the one they call the Magdalene."
Suddenly his whole life changes as he and his friends, Jack, Libby and Tinkerbelle try to discover whether this book is real or part of an elaborate hoax. Their journey takes them from Paris, to Hamburg, to Rome and into ancient history. The only thing standing in their way is the power of the Church.
Everyone I have shared it with have loved it and if you don't believe me, try the Kindle version and look inside at the first several chapters free. Enjoy.
