I'm going to tackle this book ex Kindle Australia - and hope it is not beyond me.   I return from interstate on 31.5.16 and so the Month of May, dedicated to Our Lady, will have concluded by the time I start reading - although June is the month of The Sacred Heart intimately liked with The Immaculate Heart of Mary.

 

Quote

 

"From the cross Jesus gave us his mother to be our mother, too: a singularly holy model, consoler, and intercessor for our spiritual journey. Yet most Protestants and too many Catholics don t understand the role that God wants her to play in our lives. In Behold Your Mother, Tim Staples takes you through the Church s teachings about the Blessed Virgin Mary, showing their firm Scriptural and historical roots and dismantling the objections of those who mistakenly believe that Mary competes for the attention due Christ alone. Combining the best recent scholarship with a convert s in-depth knowledge of the arguments, Staples has assembled the most thorough and useful Marian apologetic you ll find anywhere. He also shows how all the Marian doctrines are relevant even essential to a salvific faith in Jesus. From her divine maternity to her perpetual virginity, from her Immaculate Conception to her Assumption, the Church s core teachings about Mary are intertwined with the mysteries of Christ. In a word, Mary matters. Read Behold Your Mother and find out just how much."

Tim has a great way of being very readable and understandable. I have the book, and it's a great read.
