Meet Your Mother: A Brief Introduction to Mary

by Dr. Mark Miravalle, S.T.D.

Ever wonder why so many people pay so much attention to Mary, the Mother of Jesus? From the most ancient traditions of Mary in Christianity to the “Hail Mary” pass in American football, the Mother of Jesus has pervaded most world cultures for the last two thousand years.

But could the Mother of Jesus also be your mother?

That’s the question explored in the exciting new book, Meet Your Mother. This easy-read pocket book on Mary covers all the major teachings about the Mother of Jesus, but is particularly written for the person who has little or no background knowledge about her. Authored by Dr. Mark Miravalle, renowned Marian expert and professor who has taught and written about Mary for over 25 years, Meet Your Mother is the perfect little book to introduce someone to the life and truth about Jesus’ Mother, but also to renew a person’s existing knowledge and love for the woman believed to have brought Jesus into the world, and who Jesus gave personally to every human being with his dying words, “This is your mother.”

“I’m so grateful that Dr. Mark Miravalle wrote this book — there’s such a need for it. During my travels, I meet so many people who are just awakening to the idea of Mary as their mother,” says Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, in his foreword to Meet Your Mother. “People seem to be drawing closer to her now as never before. Well, this book is the best brief introduction I’ve ever read.” This revised edition includes a new conclusion as well an appendix on Marian consecration. The original manuscript has also gone through a thorough and extensive edit for a much smoother reading experience. The editing in particular makes it even easier to read and grasp Dr. Miravalle’s Marian wisdom.
