A Mother's Walk Through Scripture: A Prayerful Journey Through the Gospels
From her yes to an angel’s message until her last prayerful breath, the Blessed Mother was the first disciple of Christ, studying Him and learning from Him for thirty years, before Jesus called his first Apostle. Walk with Jesus as he teaches, heals, and ultimately makes the trip to Golgotha, but see it through his mother's eyes. Let us stop to consider this pure mother's heart, her devotion to God, and her example of how to be a good disciple of Christ. Let us learn from the woman who bore and raised our Savior.

I read Donna Silveira’s new book, A Mother’s Walk Through Scripture, and absolutely loved it! This book takes readers through a guided reading of the Rosary and each mystery. It really helps readers visualize and connect with each decade’s mystery while taking their faith deeper.
Many of my faith formation students do not truly understand meditative rosary prayer. They understand how to recite the Our Father or a Hail Mary, but simultaneously reflecting on the mysteries of the rosary while reciting the prayers is more challenging, even for adults. Even students who are properly catechized, find praying the rosary more difficult than a personal, relational prayer or a simple Our Father. This book takes readers through the mysteries and explains what to reflect on in every stage.
Not only did this book make praying the rosary easier and more understandable to my students, it also expanded my knowledge and gave me new perspective on some of the mysteries that I will now continue to teach to my class. I especially love how Jesus’s baptism was explained in the First Luminous Mystery chapter, Jesus stepped in the place of the sinners. Each chapter included in the guide was perfectly tied in and supplemented with scripture.
A Mother’s Walk Through Scripture is the perfect short devotional packed full of information. I would recommend to anyone! It is easy enough for faith formation students, and short enough for busy moms to utilize while trying to improve their prayer life.

A Mother's Walk Through Scripture by Donna Silveira is a look at biblical passages from Mary's perspective. The author recounts Mary's experiences through scripture as she applies certain moments to parallel the prophecy of the messiah or Jesus's journey to crucifixion. Revealed in joyful, luminous, sorrowful, and glorious mysteries, Silveira acknowledges a "fruit" of the mystery for readers to reflect upon. Silveira explains the Hail Mary Prayer, The Gloria Patri, and The Lord's Prayer and applies some Beatitudes to Mary's suffering and humility while comparing Mary's womb to the Ark of the Covenant and detailing what Jesus meant to His mother.
Donna Silveira has compiled an insightful book that may help many people on their quest for a stronger understanding of Mary's presence in her son's life. Comparatively, the twelve apostles were with Jesus for a short time, and many people wonder what Mary taught Him - or He taught her - during His life. Although she makes some assumptions about Mary's feelings, Silveira's thoughts can be validated by applying them to the emotions of loving mothers. She inspires readers to search for Jesus through His mother, and she will guide them to her son. I am a mother of seven children, and this book was an inspiration, reminding me that my children are God's children, and He has entrusted them to my care. A Mother's Walk Through Scripture is not a book that should be limited to Catholicism but introduced to anyone who believes in Jesus and seeks to understand Him on a deeper level.
