My wife gave me The Gnostic Gospels for father's day, and it's quite good. Like you, Panda, I find it fascinating to read about a whole society of people whose views and writings were supressed so thoroughly that their history is unknown to virtually all Christians today (you know, the church-going variety). I like the Gnostic idea that one cannot know Christ by looking outward, toward religion, but by looking inward. Faith through private introspection -- better, in my book, than faith through dogmatic doctrine. Not that I'm Gnostic, or even Christian.
I have a copy of the Gnostic Gospels, but was not aware that she had published a second work.
Actually, Navagator, this is not her second work. Amazon.com can list a bunch for you. Dedalus
