Jon Ferguson's Three Forgotten Tales tenderly rewrite* the story of Jesus; his life, crucifixion, and legacy.
*If you are a Christian you might be offended by some of the rewriting.
Written mainly around imagined conversations between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, their son God, and an array of characters mostly mythical and mystical who span 2000 years, it contains breathtaking descriptions of and insights into power, nature and - most of all - perfect love.
Regardless of your religious or philosophical convictions, if you can open your mind then these three connected tales will leave you deeply moved and wondering at the immensity of the universe. (Though it is possible Christian readers could be offended by content that attributes a loving and (NOTE) consummated relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, many Christian readers have commented on how the portrayal of Jesus captures the immensity of his love for all humans and his own humanity in a vivid, tangible and moving way.)
Also published in three separate volumes as a series, this contains the novels Jesus & Mary, Mary & God and God & Naomi.
