Singer, songwriter, and author Michael Card said, “The best way to love someone is to listen to them. The best way to love God is to listen to Him. Your imagination integrates your heart and your mind. The Bible is aimed at your imagination.”

Chronologies in the Gospel accounts are often difficult to find because the writings were collections of gathered writings. The lack of some detail in these accounts reflects their authenticity. For instance, Mary of Magdala was alone at the tomb with the risen Messiah; But other verses mention she was at the tomb with the other women, as well as with Peter and John. In this story, I explore how these events may have occurred in their order, writing from Mary’s perspective. As I attempted to capture her emotion and her understanding of the events, my gratitude to my Savior has deepened.
