5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest book on the Blessed Virgin Mary ever!, December 29, 2001
By Kevin G. Whitty "Kevin Whitty" (Oak Park, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After reading this masterpiece, it is easy to see how some would say that this book seems to be divinely inspired. It is written in a true spirit of Christian charity and a genuine desire to make known the path "to Jesus, through Mary."

The translation by Father Frederick Faber is so easy to follow, staying true to St. Louis' intent to, "... speak particularly to the poor and simple, who being of good will, and having more faith than the common run of scholars, believe more simply and more meritoriously ..." (paragraph 26). St. Louis does indeed state the truth quite plainly.

And what a truth he states! This book, so beautifully organized, covers all aspects of true Marian devotion; the necessity of Marian devotion, the truths of Marian devotion, the nature of Marian devotion, the motives of Marian devotion, the effects of Marian devotion, and the inward and outward practices of Marian devotion. Add to that a whole appendix of prayers and litanies to aid in and practice this devotion.

"Jesus Christ is the last end of true devotion to Mary" (paragraph 61). Absolutely! A true devotion to Mary is indeed a straight and sure path to a deeper understanding and relationship with Christ.

Are you Catholic? Do you not understand what it means to be devoted to Mary? Read this book. Do you believe some of your brother and sister Catholics to be too devoted to Mary? Read this book. Do you want to be truly devoted to Mary, but are unsure how? Read this book.

Are you protestant? Do you believe devotion to Mary to be idolatry or "Mariolatry"? Read this book. Do you believe devotion to Mary to be in opposition to devotion to Christ? Read this book. Do you believe "Mary can't help you"? Read this book.

An excellent book; a must read for anyone who wants to know what true devotion to our Blessed Mother is, how it is done, why it is done, and what benefits come from it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Only Book I Know That Can Save Your Life, January 1, 2006
It is very difficult to assess a book so critical to humankind's very survival amid a world of good, evil and great suffering for so many. Especially, these days when evil seems to be on the winning end. I for one don't mind saying that despite my faith that good will always prevail, there are moments so excruciating it is hard to persevere and maintain one's integrity at the same time. If you are having problems, trials, tribulations of whatever sort - for goodness sake, bypass the How-To-Overcome-Everything-approach for now. There's plenty of time to go there, if that is your preference. I would only ask that you read this miraculous book first. You don't have to be Catholic or even Christian. You don't even need to believe in anything! Sometimes, just holding this book in your hands...is enough. And I don't care if this sounds "nuts." My real name is right here and I cannot hide from truth. And I would never dissemble about my greatest hero...The Blessed Virgin Mary, whom much of the world's souls lovingly refer to as Our Lady. Oh - and please do not be dissuaded by the cover art as shown here. I believe it was more worthy of a Master artist's cover design. Still, there are not enough stars in the Heavens to recommend this book more in its height, depth, scope and substance. I commend Amazon.com for making this grand little book available to everyone...with all my heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars To Love Mary is to Praise Jesus, December 16, 2005
By M. A. Ramos (Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: True devotion to Mary (Paperback)
In these writings Saint Louis De Montfort explains in detail what is required of us to have True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was through the most Blessed Virgin Mary that Jesus was brought into this world. And during his life, her humility was so great that she almost disappears in the scriptures and is truly only known to God. And being known unto God only filled her world.

This is a guidebook that leads us to Mary and from Mary to Jesus. Many of the Saints have been servants of Mary, and all have led souls to her and therefore Jesus. The author is very ardent and effective in these writings and does a wonderful job of most effectively make her loved and served.

If you are Catholic, you should read this book. The author made sure his labor of love would keep intact the integrity of Catholic doctrine. This is an excellent book to help in the understanding true devotion to Our Blessed Mother. All is covered, why we should pledge our devotion, how to perform consecration to Our Blessed Virgin, and the glorious benefits of devotion to Our Blessed Mother.
