Mary and the Christian Life was published about two months ago, by Word Among Us Press. Bert Ghezzi, familiar to you as the author of many books on saints (including this very nice one – The Heart of a Saint: Ten Ways to Grow Closer To God), asked me to write it.
It’s a combination of a lot of things. Sort of like a typical blog post of mine. Scripture, history, tradition, odd and interesting facts, prayers and reflections, pulling it all together in a personal way. I cover the major events of Mary’s life, explore what we know about them, what our tradition says about them, and invite the reader to reflect on what these moments in Mary’s life say to us as disciples of Jesus.
You can read sample chapters here. (pdf)
Julie D at Happy Catholic has very nice things to say about the book.
Mike Aqulina, who graciously blurbed the book says some more nice things here.
You can listen to an interview about the book, with Frank Morock of the USCCB’s “Bookmarks” program here.
Another interview, with Kris and Bruce McGregor of KVSS in Omaha, is here (scroll down to 4/14)
Available most places, I think. My bookstore is here.
