The Virgin Mary has been an inspiration to more people than any other woman who ever lived. For Catholics, Protestants, Jews, and Muslims, for artists, musicians, and writers, and for women and men everywhere she has shown many faces and personified a variety of virtues.

This book will certainly fill in your knowledge and appreciation for Mary and how she developed into such an icon of the church. Sri and Hahn shows how the person of Mary is an important person to all Christians and that she is an example of faith that everyone should strive to emulate.

Very readable, very interesting, great for devotional or study purposes. It is an excellent way to see snippets of the early church's view of the Blessed Mother. ( )
