How does a Christian woman live? What does it mean to follow Jesus today? What can we practically do to lead a godly life? While her presence in the Bible is hardly substantial, the principles illustrated in the life of Mary Magdalene offer us insight and wisdom. Filled with Scripture and story, humor and gravitas, While It Was Still Dark examines the three major places we find Mary - in Christ's life, in His death, and His resurrection - and how we can find ourselves there as well.

Endorsement:

It is one of my greatest joys to see women stepping out to follow their Savior, utilizing the gifts He has given them to encourage and edify the body of Christ, and Joelle is doing just that! As someone who has taught on Women of the Bible many times, it is so exciting for me to see Mary Magdalene brought to the forefront of our hearts and minds. Hers is a story I have loved, studied, and related to intimately and Joelle does a great job of connecting Mary's story to our own. She has a fantastic way of writing that is easy to understand and relatable to us all. This book would be beneficial for both new and seasoned followers of Christ and would be wonderful for individual or small group study. I love the Powerful call to action to be present in the life, death, and resurrection of our Savior! So needed! I encourage us all to press into that calling!
