My husband gave me this book for Christmas and it has become very special to me. As someone who also grew up in the Presbyterian tradition, I had always felt the absence of Mary in the church. When, as an adult, I turned to a more "catholic" religion, I was finally able to embrace Mary. This book, with it's beautiful illustrations and wonderful essays is a spiritually rewarding path to Mary.

A stunningly beautiful book! An appropriate collection of images fills this excellently designed book with lavishly colored reproductions of the life of Mary. A tribute to two of my favorite women, both who serve us as a reminder of the exceptional nature of the feminine spirit.

This is a book that is worth owning. It is gently written and beautifully profound. The Blessed Mother is made readily accessible in the minds, hearts and souls of all who read this treasure. It is a very enlightening and interesting book and I sincerely hope it makes a positive difference in the lives of all who read it. I really loved it.

For fans of Kathleen Norris, these essays, reprinted from other books, are classic of her.

But you don't have to be a Norris fan to appreciate this book. The art work in this book is stunning--from a simple Lady of Guadalupe to the great Italian Renaisance painters. You will come back to this book repeatedly to meditate on the art.

Beautiful!

The book is an excellent purchase, but don't even think of purchasing it here because it probably won't be in stock. At least this is my experience.
