"The world is full of nonsense when it comes to the Blessed Virgin Mary from simple confusion and ignorance to disrespect and blasphemy. Michuta has done us a great service by blowing away the fog and shining the light of clarity on a matter so important to the story of God's salvation. Drawing from Scripture, Sacred Tradition, Councils and the Fathers of the Church, Gary helps scholars and beginners alike to understand the ABC's of the person and role of Mary." Stephen K. Ray, Author of Crossing The Tiber and Host of The Footprints of God video Series"There are many good books about Catholic doctrine on the Blessed Virgin Mary, but this is the first I've seen that "translates" that doctrine for Protestant readers. God bless Gary Michuta for writing a much-needed book. I wish I'd had it twenty-five years ago when I was trying to explain these matters to my then-Protestant wife, for whom Marian doctrine was a principal obstacle. How blessed are the future generations that will have this book in hand. All generations shall call her blessed. Thanks in no small part to Gary Michuta, perhaps someday all Christians will." Michael Aquilina, Author of The Fathers of the Church and EWTN host

Bravo! Gary Michuta has written a well-researched book explaining Mary in a way that even Protestants can understand. He clears a forest of distortions and misconceptions that people often have, even if it is out of ignorance. Yet, his tone is gracious as he explains from Scripture, and the teachings of the earliest Church, how the Roman-Catholic Church understands Mary. The book will surprise you, whether Protestant, Lutheran, or Roman Catholic.The book's rich foray into the Old Testament is especially impressive. All Christians would benefit from reading this book, if only because one would learn how much the Old Covenant foreshadowed the New. His chapter on the Fall into sin ("Eve and the Fall of Adam") is about the best I've read anywhere. That chapter alone is worth the price of the book. And yes, as a side benefit, you would also learn about Mary in a deeper and fuller way.Chapter 6, "Mother of the King," is also superb. Read it slowly; savor it and get all the goodies. The role of Queen Mother in the Old Covenant was important, affirming the king as the true heir to rule. For that reason, the people honored the Queen Mother; not to do so implied the king was not the legitimate ruler! Michuta then shows how Mary is the Queen Mother of Jesus, affirming that He is the true heir and fulfillment of King David's line. Masterful!I especially appreciated Appendix 2, "Making Sense of Mary Ever-Virgin." That section unmasked presumptions I had previously brought to the text of Scripture. Such notions had made me unable to let to text of Scripture speak without my assumptions silencing them, even before the text had a chance to speak to me. When a book can do that, it's worth reading!
Gary Michuta is not only a fine Catholic apologist, but he is one of the faith's most masterful authors! The way in which he presents Catholic teaching on Mary is fantastic. In this book one will, quite frankly, be able to Make CLEAR sense of just who the Biblical and the Historical Mary are! Let me just put it nice and simple for you, a book like this has been needed for quite some time! I would recommend you buy this book and buy it FAST! In it are quotations and insights that prove that Gary didn't just cobble this book together overnight, but he put a LOT of labor and a lot of LOVE into this masterpiece! Why do we call Mary Full of Grace? Gary will help you understand that and will help you APPRECIATE why we give dulia to the Mother of GOD. Gary will also help you understand and appreciate historical truths such asMary Ever VirginThe Assumption of MaryMary as the Mother of our GOD and Saviorand much much much more! With a clever insight into the Early Church that I haven't seen any modern day authors emphasize quite enough, Gary's work is quite unparalleled in these particular areas!I highly recommend this book for anyone that loves their Catholic faith and anyone that claims to be a professing Christian. What we have here is a grand insight into the historical truth of just how important Christ's mother was and a deep historical study on what makes her unique and important in the lives of every single Christian in this day and age! I cannot recommend this work highly enough!(Note: I HIGHLY recommend one read and RE-READ the Answering Common Objections section over and over and over! Make sure to take notes! Purchase this in hard copy AND Kindle edition and make sure to highlight in BOTH editions!
