Amy Welborn‘s new book, Mary and the Christian Life: Scriptural Reflections on the First Disciple, is out. And I must say (as I said on the back cover):

Profound yet simple — and impossible to put down — this book draws God’s children into the life of our mother. All the doctrine is there, and all the history, but it’s borne along by stories from the lives of the saints and sketches from the Church’s many traditions of worship and art, music and poetry. This is a family album for Christians to treasure. Buy a copy for yourself and one for lending. You’ll want to discuss every chapter with a friend.

I like a book that leans on the Fathers.
