by Victor Hoagland, C.P.
Each of us possesses something that is utterly his or her own. We have the unique and exclusive ownership of this possession. It is our story. Your story contains your origins and personal development with all the influences that affected your growth process. It is a more insightful story if it understands your value system, your hopes and achievements. It should highlight what makes you to be you. A perceptive story-teller catches all the nuances of a human personality. That speaker or writer is even more proficient when the subject of the story is placed in his or her historical milieu. Father Victor Hoagland, C.P. is such a story-teller. In the pages of this book, he tells the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Drawing on Scripture and Tradition, Christian art and piety, as well as other sources, he paints a picture of Mary that is both human and down-to-earth. You may preview the text on the Web. The illustrations, of course, will vary from the presentation in this lovely 122 page, hard cover book. A wonderful gift for others -- and for yourself. |
