IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MARY, THIS IS THE PLACE TO START. Mary, the Mother of Jesus, occupies a unique place in all of history. God chose her to be the mother of the Word, His only Son. And over the centuries Catholics have come to honor her as the Mother of God and the Mother of the Church. In Your One-Stop Guide to Mary, Mitch Finley has given us a concise but complete picture of the Blessed Virgin Mary, tracing her story from Scripture through the centuries. He describes her titles, informs us about Marian doctrines, explains her place in the liturgy and tells us about her apparitions. If you want to know more about Mary and understand her role in the divine plan, this book is the place to start. ""In this attractive work Mitch Finley looks at Catholic devotion to and veneration of Mary as it has lived and continues to live in many and varied ways in the mind and heart of God's people. An excellent and significant tool for faith development."" William H.
