 Our Description


Who do you say Mary is?

She’s a simple peasant they call Queen of Heaven. She’s the Lord’s humble servant, yet an icon of female strength. She’s mother of all, yet ever-virgin, lowly and exalted. Sinners fly to her but angels bow. Mary, mother of Jesus, is the most recog-nized woman in history . . . and the most misunderstood.

Non-Christians paint her as an earth goddess. Skeptics say she’s a fictional projection of male psychological needs. Many Protestants grudgingly acknowledge that someone had to bear the Savior, but otherwise regard Mary as an ordinary, sinful woman — in whom Christians have tragically misplaced the faith and devotion due only to her Son.

Even many Catholics don’t know Mary as well as they should. Do you know the Church’s five essential Marian doctrines, and how they’re rooted in Scripture and Sacred Tradition? Can you explain the difference between the Immaculate Conception and the Virgin Birth? Or share the messages and secrets of Mary’s most famous apparitions?

Meet Mary, from Marian expert Mark Miravall, tells you all that and more. You’ll learn everything the Bible says about her, what the early Christians believed, and all of the Church’s key Marian teachings these past 2,000 years.

Soon, you’ll turn to Mary with your cares and joys; in sorrows you’ll experience her gentle embrace. You’ll also become a better disciple of Jesus, for the Son commands us to imitate him in all things — including perfect love of his mother.

“It’s time for you to know more about the Mother of Our Lord, and this book will do precisely that for you.”
Scott Hahn

This item received 5 stars overall. Get acquainted with the Blessed Mother

I recently read Mark Miravalle's Meet Mary. Miravalle is a Catholic deacon who is also a Mariologist. In his book he introduces his readers to the Mother of God, Mary. This book wasn't written just for Catholics. He invites non-Catholics to come along with him and get acquainted with our Blessed Mother and he explains why she's relevant to all of us and not just Catholics.

This is not an apologetics book and is not intended by the author to be such but even still, it could still quietly carry out that function if read by a curious non-Catholic. In the book Miravalle makes it clear that Catholic do not worship Mary and he beautifully explains Marian devotion and how it brings one closer to our Lord.

So who would benefit from reading this book? Anyone with a curiosity about Mary could certainly learn something from this book. If you're a Catholic who doesn't e Full Review...
