While researching for her upcoming devotional book, Bloom in God's Promises, Mary became intrigued with the mysterious life of Mary Magdalene. As a result, she wrote this study to share her thoughts with her readers.
Mary says in the introduction to the study: "I often wonder what it would be like to speak directly with some of the great saints of the Bible. I would love to ask Peter how it felt to walk on water. For Paul I wonder, what was the thorn in his flesh? Was it a physical ailment, mental struggle, or a spiritual battle? But of all the New Testament servants of Christ, Mary Magdalene is one who seems the most mysterious to me. Not mysterious as in secretive. Mysterious as in where did she find the strength to do all that she accomplished for Jesus."

A few words about Mary as a speaker: "When we were looking for someone to talk at our fall women's retreat, someone mentioned Mary Rodman. Mary ran with the theme and gave us not only talks but small group questions and devotions for each session. The attendees found the talks relevant to our lives and the small group questions meaningful and thought provoking. Would definitely use Mary for a retreat again and would highly recommend her to speak at your retreat." ~Shirl Hensel Co-Chair, Women at the Well, Trinity Lutheran Church, Marysville, OH
