The first in a trilogy of stories of the saints by the husband and wife duo of Pierre and Germaine Noury, this sweet illustrated tale of the life of the Blessed Virgin is truly a treasure. From her conception to her glorious Assumption and crowning as Queen of Heaven, here is an opportunity to learn to love our dear Mother more than ever before. It is difficult to describe this book better than Dom Paul Séjourné did in his preface: “This, then, is the Gospel of Mary. But it is even more: it brings to life the fullness of the Christian faith. Using the plain words of sacred scripture, it weaves a jeweled tapestry. For though the Gospels tell us little of Christ’s mother, we need not deprive ourselves of this poetry simply because those teachings are here enriched by the many beautiful things that have been related by the Fathers of the Church, or by saintly souls to whom Our Lady has revealed her secrets.” “In weaving together the accounts of Mary’s role in her son’s life as found in the gospels, I hope you will find here all the tenderness and love of Mary’s own heart speaking to you.” You can read more about this trilogy and how it was produced in St. Augustine Academy Press’ blog.
