The Holy Women Around Jesus by Carol Haenni

It is a little known fact that as many as 17 women, closely connected with Jesus, followed Him to the cross. Who were they and other women who assisted in the preparation for the birth of Jesus, His life, and the carrying on of His message after His death? This fascinating new book by the author of Anna: Woman of Miracles, the Story of the Grandmother of Jesus, draws upon two sources: the psychic readings of Edgar Cayce and visions of German nun Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824). Cayce's readings identified many of the holy women around Jesus in past-life readings-giving intimate details of lives long ago not recorded in biblical texts. Emmerich's visions, known to provide unique insights into the life of Jesus, provide added clairvoyant insights into the community that supported Jesus and his work. Fascinating, fresh insights into the life of Jesus.

Have you been transformed by His furious, passionate, unexplainable love? Join Brennan Manning, the bestselling author of The Ragamuffin Gospel, on a personal journey to experience Christ’s love and live with His passion.
