Mary Magdalene: A Woman Beyond the Name
Far more than a fleeting figure in scripture, The Scarlet Lily brings Mary Magdalene to life in a deeply human and emotionally compelling way. Edward F. Murphy crafts a fictionalized account of her journey, exploring the choices, struggles, and redemption of a woman often misunderstood by history.
While not strictly historically accurate, this novel’s overarching themes of forgiveness, acceptance, and faith resonate across time, reminding readers that the struggles of the past are not so different from our own.
A powerful and immersive read, this book will transport you to the time of Jesus, offering a fresh perspective on one of the Bible’s most enigmatic figures.
Perfect for book club: great for discussion—redemption, second chances, and the kinds of choices that spark real conversation.

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.
-
With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.
-
Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
