Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":
It’s phenomenal—the plethora of books and media hype devoted to the virtual glorification of Judas Iscariot, and the consequent denigration of Jesus of Nazareth, with also the vilification of His eleven disciples. Judas is being honored as the author of a “Gospel”—suggestively more authentic than the four Gospels in the New Testament.
Bombarded with alluring descriptions of this ancient writing as “the Lost Gospel,” “The Secrets of Judas,” the “eye-opening account [that] will astound you,” we must endure these attempts to entice us from faith in Christ, and yes, away from an appreciation of the “faith” of Mary Magdalene (cf. Luke 7:50).

This writer longs to tell the world the biblical truth in Mary Magdalene—[a disciplined account of] the Bible Story, the Woman the World Can Never Forget. He has written the book, printed it; how to publish it is the problem. Please join the writer in prayer for the Holy Spirit to “guide” (John
