Beautiful Examples of Humility
This book is clear that it is not a historical text, but the attitudes and behaviors exemplified in these visions, from the saints, are striking to consider.

Excellent
This is one of the best books I’ve read about our beloved Blessed Mother. Her astounding humility is highlighted throughout providing ample examples for reflection in my own life on how I am living. Easy to immerse myself in the story and a real page turner. I loved it and bought several more for friends. I want to share this book with the world.

The life of Maria seen by the Mystics
My daughter bought this book for me for Christmas. I have been reading books written by mystics for about 40 years. This was one of the most spectacular books I’ve ever read — short chapters with so much beautiful insight that I found myself stopping sometimes after one paragraph to meditate on the depths of what God has allowed for us to know ! I went out and purchased several copies for my friends. They were so taken by this book that I thought I need to get this book into as many hands as possible. I ordered six books at a time and when I’ve given them all out I’ll order six more. Sometimes people come up to me with their mouth open speechless and I say I know exactly what you’re trying to say.!!! Absolutely recommend this book. But buy at least 2. As you are reading it, you are going to say to yourself “ I know someone who would love this as much as I do.”

Through New Eyes
Mary has always been an important figure in my life and the life of my family. This book brought an even deeper understanding of Mary’s entire life under the lens of her perfection. We actually get very little of Mary in the Bible, and this book brings her life into focus from start to finish in such a beautiful way!

Life of Mary
Loved this book! It should be a must read for anyone praying the rosary. Gives great details surrounding each mystery. No more distractions for me since I can now picture the exact event.
