Ephesus Pure in Heart is the fact based account of the evangelical efforts of John and Mary Magdalene in Ephesus and Anatolia from 49AD to 65AD. All of their efforts were constantly being challenged by the lecherous Emperor Claudius, the treacherous Emperor Nero, murderous Deputy Consul Celer, the dogmatic Jewish community, Greek idolatry and Roman immorality. In spite of grave resistance, significant progress was achieved in social programs and religious practice. Ultimately Ephesus became an important center in the early Ecclesia. Their story of teamwork is memorable; and their commitment, in the face of persecution and even death, remains inspiring.
