A concise and to-the-point explanation and defence of the Marian devotion unique to Roman Catholicism. Of course, I needed no convincing; Our Lady is our precious and immaculately holy mediatrix for which I have felt a particular affinity since my deeper absorption into the Catholic faith. The book also addresses issues regarding the "worship" of holy pictures, relics, saints, those sorts of things. Definitely worth reading for any Catholic, should they wish to strengthen their formation and doctrinal knowledge; worthwhile also for Protestants, should they wish to learn from a Catholic perspective why we do not consider these things as akin to idolatry, providing certain fundamental understandings be upheld.

Concise and thorough treatment of the Roman Catholic doctrines surrounding Mary. The author does a good job of treating possible objections or alternative viewpoints.
The kindle edition has some distracting typos and random untranslated Latin phrases, it would be nice if any non-obvious Latin bits were translated in parentheses
