Drawing closer to Grace
My third grader got to pick a book from a Catholic press as a reward. She was so excited to select this book and we just finished reading it. She loved the stories and became a real leader at bedtime so we were settled and ready to read this together. It is delightfully written with enough detail to engage parents and beautiful narratives in each chapter to leave the kids inspired at the end. I know this was written to serve as a text to study Mary, but it became the perfect devotional for our three girls.

Not just for young readers
The breadth that this book covers is amazing. The description says for young readers, but I think adults will also enjoy it.

Awesome!
I really do enjoy learning more about the Blessed Virgin Mary, and I'm a "kid at heart". It almost persuades me to return to the Catholic Faith! I might highlight important info in that book, too!

Excellent Book
I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it for its intended purpose as a textbook, but also as a reference book or just to read. As a convert to Catholicism, I had to completely change my view of the Blessed Mother and slowly see her as she is, the mother given to us by Jesus on the cross. She is our intercessor and friend. Phillip Campbell’s book is full of information out the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her appearances, the history of her life and mothering Jesus, the way she has interceded in the past in big and small ways. The reminder of the stories of the Miraculous Medal, the rosary, and the scapular were wonderful. The things I didn’t know such as the Battle of Lepanto were fascinating to me. Thank you to TAN Books for the copy of this book. I learned so much from this book and know it will be a great resource for others.
