Product Description

Mary has been known by many names-Blessed One, Queen of Peace, Gracious Advocate-each one reflecting a particular aspect of her character or a role she played in the foundation of the Christian faith. But it is her role as mother of Jesus that most captures our imagination. Author Heidi Hess Saxton offers a collection of meditations that sketch an evocative portrait of Mary and her life as a woman of faith.

The book allows us to follow Mary's life from childhood to her assumption into heaven and imagines some of the seminal moments of her life. From holding the infant Jesus' hand on the night of His birth to watching Him die on the cross, the book reveals the great love and deep sadness that Mary felt for her son. Each meditation is introduced by a scripture passage that provides biblical and historical context and closes with a prayer. By allowing us a glimpse of Mary's humanity, Saxton gives us the opportunity to deepen our relationship with both mother and Son.

wonderful role model
The author has enabled me to set higher goals for myself as a Christian and mother. This book has given me a perspective of the life of our blessed mother I took for granted. Obedience, love, pure faith, super goals to attain. Thank you!

Inspirational
As a mother of three young girls, I try to make Mary my inspiration in my daily life. This book makes her come alive - she is a real woman, and by the last page she is a best friend.
