The Blessed Virgin Mary is perhaps the most famous woman in history. She is venerated on every continent and has inspired countless works of literature, art, and song. But who is she and why does she matter? Author and theologian Dr. Robert Stackpole guides us through the four Marian dogmas, introducing us to the ever-virgin Mother of God with wit and clarity. Drawing deeply from Scripture and Tradition, he plumbs the depths and explores the heights of the Christian heritage of teaching and devotion surrounding the Blessed Virgin before sharing with us some of her most significant apparitions at Guadalupe, Lourdes, Fatima, and Kibeho.
