Wholly Mary: Mother of God

by Chris Padgett

There's a little bit about Mary in Scripture. We can glean a bit more from the tradition of the Church. Some of the approved apparitions add a little insight, too. But where can we go to get the complete picture, to find out about the whole Mary?

Wholly Mary does just that. In an engaging style, Chris Padgett walks us through what the Bible has to say about the Mother of God. What has she meant to the Church throughout the centuries, what do the apparitions add, what have the saints told us about her and, most importantly, what can we learn from her ourselves? Other facets of this explanation of the Blessed Mother With the enthusiasm and passion Chris Padgett is known for, Mary is sure to come alive for you in a wholly new way!

Good! Wasn't as good as expected-thought it could have been more in depth. Quick, easy read of basics of Marian doctrine/devotion.

This book was a delightful surprise and testament to the fact that there is always something more to say about the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Padgett's words are vivid and he describes deep theology with a sense of humor and complete humility, a combination I found both unexpected and enjoyable.

Whether you have a devotion to Mary or are looking to learn more, I recommend this book as a great addition for your personal (and parish!) library.

Good book, I wished for more Biblical Passages but did enjoy the quotes on Mary

Love this book as an introduction to Marian devotion and the scriptural and theological basis for Marian devotions. The chapter on family rosary was by far my favorite!
