Mary Magdalene, Apostle to the Apostles

What do the gospels tell us about Mary Magdalene? She was a committed disciple of Jesus during his public ministry and at the cross. She was the first to encounter the risen Lord on Easter morning. And she received his commission to be the apostle to the apostles. Through Dinah Chapman Simmons's reflections on these experiences, Mary Magdalene invites us into a deeper relationship with the Lord Jesus.
