In this book by best-selling author Amy Welborn, Mary comes to life for us, both as the mother of Jesus and as his first disciple. Through her expressive and meditative style, Welborn offers fresh insights into Mary's story, with all of its wonder, love, and adversity. Each moment in Mary's life serves as a mirror for us, showing us how we, as Jesus' disciples, can open ourselves in the same way to whatever he wants for us. Throughout the book, Welborn provides her own unique perspective, both as a mother of five and as a disciple writing in the service of the church. Each chapter features selections about Mary from saints, popes, and church fathers along with explanations of the history behind popular Marian devotions, hymns, and prayers, from the rosary to the Salve Regina.Welborn, Amy is the author of 'Mary and the Christian Life', published 2008 under ISBN 9781593251130 and ISBN 1593251130.
