This is an abridged version of the 4 volume set of books written by Marie of Agreda. It is an excellent source for the life and teachings of Mary, the Mother of God. Receiving mystical dictation from Mary herself, Maria gives intimate details of the situations and historical events in Mary's life. The book portrays the heart and soul of Mary, demonstrates that God and specifically Jesus Christ were at the center of Mary's experience and her life, and helps us see why she is called Blessed Among Women. Theologians reading the full writings over the last 400 years have concluded that this narrative illuminates the Gospels and explains and answers many questions regarding the details of the life of Jesus. This abridged version is highly recommended for the serious disciple of Jesus Christ. Mary's life lessons are invaluable to anyone seeking understanding and knowledge of what is necessary to achieve holiness and become close to God in this life. You will never be the same after reading this book.
