Advance praise for The Mary Magdalene Within:"The Mary Magdalene Within is an achingly beautiful, powerfully moving, and profoundly original story and teaching. Everyone who has been intrigued by The DaVinci Code will want to read this book. The deeper truth told in this book is that men need to find the divine feminine in the ordinary women who are already around them, and so to be led to discover it also in themselves." --James Lawler, contributing author, Mel Gibson's Passion and PhilosophyEarly one morning in April 1996, author Joan Norton took up her writing instruments and asked her Cosmic Intelligence (as she calls her inner guidance) what "they" wanted her to write about. She was told that Mary Magdalene wanted to speak through her. The result of this intense emotional experience is The Mary Magdalene Within.In many current texts, Mary Magdalene is acclaimed as the root of Christian wisdom--as well as one of its most controversial figures. In The Mary Magdalene Within, details of her teachings are disclosed as she leads the reader into a profound experience of the Sacred Feminine. In Norton's first person narrative, Mary Magdalene describes the extraordinary story of her life and her love for Jesus.

In a county of small villages, Bittering in the heart of Norfolk is one of the smallest. It was here in 1942 that Joan Warmer was born and lived until she moved to Hingham in 1967 and married George Norton. The details of her life sixty to seventy years ago feel unimaginable to us today, just as the Bittering itself of her childhood is hard to imagine now, since a number of its buildings have subsequently disappeared. BITTERING, NORFOLK, LOST AND FOUND is the product of long conversations with Joan to recover her vivid memory of life in remote Norfolk at that time, her family, living off the land, and her service at Bittering Hall from the age of ten. This was a fading world even in her time there which has now vanished altogether. Joan's account is marked by her vigorous conversational style, a sharp eye for what she saw, and immense warmth both for her family and for the Napiers living in the Hall. 68 pages, with 25 photographs and 2 maps A SFORZINDA BOOKS PUBLICATION
