Immaculate Conception of the Mother of God, The
$13.95
By The Most Reverend William Ullathorne. Composed by an Archbishop, this praiseworthy tribute to Our Savior's holy mother was actually written the very same year that Pope Pius IX defined the dogma of Our Lady's Immaculate Conception. Beginning where all great works on Our Lady should, with her exalted office and dignity, the author educates the reader that he or she might see the congruity, even the necessity, of Mary's divine prerogative in the eternal plan of redemption. To see the Immaculata as the fulfillment of the highest possible degree of excellence God could establish in a creature, perfecting through her the crowning glory in the gradation of all being outside of God. Archbishop Ullathorne is not original, but masterful, in his explanation of Mary's royal relationship with the angels as well as men, for she it was who gave the Incarnate God the flesh and blood by means of which all the elect achieved their salvation. A true gift of charity for a Protestant friend in search of truth! 170 pages, Softcover

Holy Mountain of LaSalette, The
$17.95
By Archbishop William Ullathorne. Another Marian production of the Archbishop of Birmingham, the Holy Mountain of La Salette was written in 1854, during and after this English prelate's own pilgrimage to the site of the apparitions. In fact, it was only eight years after Our Sorrowful Mother appeared to the shepherd children, Melanie and Maximin, in the south of France that Ullathorne took up his pen to defend the authenticity of the urgent visitation. Indeed, with Rome's permission, the author writes more as a contemporary chronicler of the events, conducting interviews with the seers themselves and with those ecclesiastics who were personally involved. The purpose for which he wrote this book was that the whole Catholic world might know, then, as well as in times to come, the reasons which move the Mother of Godto tears. 180 pages, softcover.

Sacred Encounters With Mary
$12.00
By G. Scott Sparrow, Ed.D., Foreword by Janice Connell

Personal encounters with Mary, the mother of Jesus, seem to be increasing even more today than when she began appearing during times of upheaval to unlikely visionaries on hillsides and in other rural areas of Mexico and Europe. It is often the feminine face of God that shines through and consoles us in times of our deepest personal and collective need. Sparrow, author of two other books on Jesus and Mary (published by Bantam books), recounts experiences in which individuals have felt the presence of Mary either through light, visions, voices, or simply an overwhelming feeling of love. Some say that Mary brings us an awareness that we desperately need at this time--a nourishing spirit of self-sacrificing love that, if embraced more widely, helps to reverse the tide of hatred and bloodshed spilling into many regions of the world today.

G. Scott Sparrow, Ed.D., is a fly fishing guide, writer, psychotherapist, and spiritual mentor who lives in Arroyo City, Texas. He received his doctorate in counseling from The College of William and Mary and has maintained a private practice in professional counseling since 1982. He has lectured and taught courses across the U.S. on such topics as meditation, mystical experiences, and dream work methods. Quality paperback, 192 pages. Fall 2002

Mary of Nazareth
$7.95
"Kenneth Howell believes that one of the greatest obstacles to Christian unity has been Mary, the Mother of Jesus. No woman in history has been so honored in some human hearts while being so ignored by others. For that reason, no genuine unity can exist among Christians who ignore the central role played by Jesus' Mother in the history of salvation. Mary of Nazareth will lead you through the relevant Scriptures about Mary and will help you understand how intimately bound to one another Jesus and Mary are. It will explain how troubling Catholic doctrines of Mary are rooted in biblical testimony. This scriptural meditation will touch your mind and heart as you enter into the beautiful life by which Mary gave the world its key instrument in bringing about that unity for which Jesus her Son prayed."

Mary, Save Us
$5.95
by Adele Dirsyte; Prayers from a prisoner's hands -- and heart -- to yours.

Adele Dirsyte's simple words to Our Lady and Our Lord, secretly penned more than a half-century ago in a Siberian prison, continue to reveal ...

The message she fearlessly taught The truth for which she was imprisoned and tortured The belief for which she gave her life.

They are the message, the truth, and the belief of a faithful follower of Christ, of a beloved child of Mary. They are the prayers of all who suffer.

Adele Dirsyte was born in Lithuania in 1919. She was arrested in 1946 for Catholic activities that were considered "contra-revolutionary" and sent to a prison in Siberia. There, with the help of several companions, she secretly wrote and bound copies of a prayer book that became known as "Mary, Save Us." She died in prison in 1955 and is now a candidate for beatification. This is her prayer book.

"Sitting with Mother Teresa, watching her tend to the sick and the dying, feeling the aura of holiness around her person, seeing her bent in prayer, lost in God -- how often I asked myself if I was not seeing something of Our Lady, experiencing a glimpse of the Virgin of Nazareth." -- Joseph Langford, MC, author and co-founder of the Missionaries of Charity Fathers.
