Interpretation Supposing Books Divine
Istenember by Karen KingsburyAz Istenember modernkori példázata Magdalai Máriának. A regény főhőse Mary Madison rettenetes múltja és nyilvános megaláztatása ellenére jelképpé, oszloppá válik Washingtonban. Túlélő harcos, aki bántalmazott nők felé szolgál, kiállva a tisztesség és az igazság jobbja mellett. Múltja sötét borzalmakat rejtett, melyek foglyul ejtették, és azzal fenyegették, hogy felemésztik. A félelem, a becsapás, a fájdalom és a függőség. A hűtlenség, az erkölcstelenség és a vágy, hogy véget vessen saját életének. Mindez a múltba veszett… Már nem a saját hét démonának rabszolgája volt, hanem Mesterének odaszánt, készséges szolgálóleánya, aki eltökélte, hogy minden lélegzetvételével egyedül Annak céljait szolgálja, akinek olyan sokkal tartozott...

One of the best books I have read by Karen Kingsbury. The content of this book is difficult, to say the least. For some of us, this type of living is so far beyond our wildest imagination, that we have difficulty relating to it. But, none the less, the pain and heartache represented between the pages of Divine occur in real life more than we'd like to think possible. This story of hope, renewal, forgiveness and grace transcends circumstances to breathe new life into every one of us, if only weKaren Kingsbury brings the story of Mary Magdalene into modern times. Not one to shy away from tough topics, the author brings to light the horrible circumstances many people find themselves in: addicted to drugs, involved in harmful relationships, forced into prostitution, etc. That makes this hard to read at times, but, the overall story is one of God's love and grace. Much like the Biblical account of Paul, the moral of the story is: If the Lord can forgive these people for all they've
I couldn't read more than a few pages of this book. It starts from the outset with some outrageous Christian propaganda about absintence only education and even has some horribly false statistics on abstinence only education. Then the main character talks in condescending platitudes about the rough side of DC and how these "rough" kids aren't so rough now that they're going to Bible study classes. Uggh. Thank goodness this was a free Friday download.
This is the reaction I had after I had finished reading it and had a few hours to think about it. I posted this to my facebook page:Last night I started reading a book by Karen Kingsbury called Divine and I finished it today. It's all I've been able to think about. It is a story about a modern day Mary Magdalene. A woman who had her own demons and was rescued by Jesus. At one point in the story Peter is mentioned. "The problem was that once in a while Peter had a tendency to take his eyes off of
I found this whole book pretty farfetched and kind of hoky, not because it was very much Christian fiction but because of how stupid Mary and Emma both were when they should have known better and learned from their mistakes. Also the police would have looked further into seeing if the grama was Mary's grama instead of not following up on it so that part was very unbelievable.
WOW! What an amazing book. I did not want to put this book down.This is a tough book to read, not due to the writing but due to the events in the book. Karen Kingsbury is one of my all time favorite authors and this book once again proved why. The writing and story drew me in from the start and you feel part of the book, as if you are Emma discussing Mary's story with her.I delayed reading this book due to the events; prostitution, sexual abuse to children and physical abuse to woman. It is
I loved this retelling of the life of Mary Magdalene! I normally don't like Karen Kingsbury novels, but I really liked this one and thought it was a very original idea. Readers beware, the book does deal with a lot of very mature subject matter/content, but it is all in the context of the story and the character development. I still enjoyed the story and would recommend it.
