review 1: Wow, it's not often a book like this comes along. Everyone I know (who's Catholic) loves it and everyone is trying to get everyone to read it. It makes Mary really come alive and is easy to read. The only person I know who didn't like it was my mom, which is surprising because she's as Catholic as they come. She wasn't sure about some of the theology. Also this is a good book to read at least once a year, as you get something new out of it every time you read it.
review 2: I have been searching for some time for a book that is intriguing and not a head trip about Mary, Mother of Jesus. Thank God I finally decided to join the rest of Orange County and read this great book! I say that because I have seen this book in so many hands, as if it were the newest t... morehriller that hit the shelves. I actually decided to approach a young woman at my church and asked if I could borrow it. It was the best thing I could get from a stranger!I was immediately comforted to read that this author actually found himself also feeling a sense of detachment from the Virgin Mary, and he's part of a order of priests that specialize in promoting the spirituality of Mary!!! So his openness about a weakness he faced comforted me as I hesitantly began this book for Advent. After that transparent intro, I read the rest of this book more faithfully than I read the bible. Fr. Michael has a great style of writing! He wrote about major theological concepts in a "every man" style. I felt like I was getting a daily personal phone conversation from him--it was that casual!!I deducted one star because this book needed to also promote a way of doing the "retreat." Instead, he just wrote about the theme of the day and offered no other guidance in doing a good retreat. I felt like I was doing a daily class more than I was doing a daily retreat. Other than that, this is a fantastic reading about Marian spirituality! less
