Considered by many to be the greatest single book of Marian spirituality ever written, True Devotion to Mary is St Louis de Montfort's classic statement on the spiritual way to Jesus Christ though the Blessed Virgin Mary. Beloved by countless souls, this book sums up the entire Christian life, showing a way of holiness that is short, easy, secure, and perfect—a way of life chosen by Our Lord Himself. In this beautiful and sublimely inspiring book, de Montfort explains the wonderful spiritual effects which true devotion to Mary brings about in a person's life. This new edition in the TAN Classic format includes an expanded Preparation for Total Consecration with readings and prayers. There is no better way to advance quickly in holiness, no better way to please God, and no better way to guarantee one's present sanctity and eternal salvation than the true devotion to Mary.

Finally - a new edition of True Devotion to Mary which combines this celebrated marian work with all the readings necessary to prepare for the initial or renewal of the consecration to Jesus through Mary. For readers well familiar with this work, they will welcome the new look and feel - just beautiful and very well done. But they'll also appreciate the over 130 pages of extra readings to prepare oneself spiritually for the devotion which St. Louis de Montfort describes. This additional material includes several chapters from the Holy Gospel as well as The Imitation of Christ, in addition to all of the prayers recommended by St. Louis de Montfort.For the uninitiated truly interested in Marian devotion there really is no other book on par with this one. Praised by popes, saints and other holy persons, the book situates Marian devotion within the most effective and humble paths to perfection, well tested over time, and attested throughout the last two thousand years from the earliest fathers and saints of the Church to the most recent approved marian apparitions. Readers of this book have always found that it lays out in a very compelling and progressive manner how to best approach this beloved devotion, pointing out some of the dangerous and erroneous practices that have lead souls astray and created so much misgivings between Catholic and Protestant Christians, and leading the reader ever closer to the true devotion which is tender, honest, cognisant of our own incapacities and ever focussed on the ultimate objective, a perfect union with Jesus.As has been commented by many, there is a peculiar quality to the book which, despite repeated readings, continues to engage the reader in a lively fashion and challenge the reader to increase their understanding of its spiritual depths.
This is the best and the truest edition of this wonderful book in my opinion. I purchased "The True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin," (slightly different title) thinking it was the version I had in book form. It is not. This one is. It just feels right. I recommend it highly. I also recommend "The Secret of Mary," a small, related booklet, also by St. Montfort. Buy both.
If you are buying this because you wanted to get True Devotion and Preparation for Total Consecration together, I'd advise not doing so. This version of Preparation for Total Consecration is confusing. It does not split the readings into days but gives you all of the reading for each period in one place. It does not specify exactly what to read which makes it hard. If you are looking for a way to do the preparation that is more flexible, I suggest this book. But, If you want specific readings for every day I suggest buying this book: http://www..com/Preparation-Total-Consecration-Louis-Montfort/dp/0910984107
This book is what you need to read if you want to understand the path to devoting your life to Jesus' Mother. But this book is difficult to read, I found myself re-reading paragraphs to understand what is being said. For me it is a slow, difficult read. I know it will be worth it in the end, so I am sticking with it and will probably re-read the entire book in the future.
I have several of these books in the house but when I need them I misplace them. Having it on my phone gives me more opportunity to remind me to be devoted to Mary. When I have problems or when I feel I can't go on I can turn to her in an instant. And it reminds me to thank her for being my Mother.
What I expected was an old-fashioned tome and education on a topic that was out of reach to understand. I purchased this book based on the reviews and the high recommendations. Was I surprised at the appeal of this book. As a devout Catholic, I found it hard to put this book down and it brought me closer to Christ through Mary and devotion to her. The book reveals how and why Mary is so important and integral in mankind's salvation, and how we can reach salvation and Jesus through her. I haven't yet finished reading it, as I purchased the Kindle version, but I highly recommend it for Catholic Christians who want to learn more about their faith and grow closer in it.
Taking a class on the True Devotion to Mary. If you are a believer in the Blessed Mother, you will appreciate her role more in redemption and intercessor. For those of you who do not believe in her, be open to what is said to know why Catholics pray to her, not idolize or worship her.
Just started this book as our community is renewing our Consecration to Jesus through Mary on March 25th. Wish I had more time to devote to reading it. It is beautiful and uplifting. I find myself meditating on parts of it, using it for prayer time.
