She's Mary, the mother of Jesus: the most recognized woman in history. And the most misunderstood! Many Protestants grudgingly acknowledge that someone had to bear the Savior, but they otherwise regard Mary as an ordinary, sinful woman. Even if you're a Catholic who grew up with a statue of Mary next to your bed, you probably don't understand her as well as you think — or should. is a slim volume written by renowned Marian expert Mark Miravalle, and it will help you answer these questions — and more! After reading these pages, you'll know the faithful truth about this woman of contradictions: everything the Bible says about her, what the early Christians believed, and each of the key teachings the Church has proclaimed about her for 2,000 years! Even more important — for Mary herself desires to be known intimately, not academically — you'll learn how to enter into a personal relationship with her. You'll come to regard her not as a distant and unapproachable figure in the heavens, but as a real friend and mother. Most of all, you'll become a better disciple of Jesus. For the Son commands us to imitate Him in all things—including perfect love of His Mother.
