A gorgeously illustrated and fascinating read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This beautiful book is a nice, but not exhaustive, compilation of the various miracles of the Virgin Mary. I liked how Durham grouped the miracles by theme, and I find it interesting that he himself is not Catholic. The quality of the illustrations is very good, and the depictions of Mary are from all around the world, from old-master paintings (Caravaggio, El Greco) to New World sculptures and paintings (including work from Peru, Mexico, Canada). I do wish that the book had illustrations of the things it spoke of, for example, at the point where The Black Madonna of Czestochowa, Poland was discussed, I would have liked to have had that image right there. However, I really did enjoy this book as it had such a great collection of Marian images.
very informative and very artistic

The numerous miracles that Mama Mary has done further strengthen my Catholic faith. She made us feel that the Lord is always there. The author was able to convey to us the love and gift of the Lord. He made use of art pieces which made the book more beautiful . He made use not only of master artist but as well as contemporary ones.
A beautiful tribute to a wondrous woman

The gorgeous paintings in this book aptly convey the esteem in which we Catholics hold Mary. The stories of the miracles were beautifully told, and reminded me of all the magic of those catechism hours. I don't think you have to be Catholic to enjoy this volume . . . remember, Mary and Jesus both were Jewish. This would be a thoughtful gift to anyone who appreciates beauty and spirtuality. I hope there's another volume soon, since I'm sure there are so many more parables and paintings that deserve to be heard and seen.
Well-worth time spent

I am not Catholic and therefore had never heard the miraculous stories of our Mother Mary. This book left me wanting more.
