Of the “True Devotion,” John Paul II said that reading “True Devotion” was a "decisive turning point" in his life. Millions of Catholics have followed the Saint's path to changing their lives, too, by consecrating themselves to Christ through His Holy Mother, in effect striving to not only re-dedicate one's life but to push the boundary for real holiness and learn to become a true "slave" to Jesus Christ.
The "Secret of the Rosary" contains many stories of miracles involving Blessed Alan and St. Dominic as well the special way to pray the Rosary according to St. Louis himself. This treasure may be considered "THE" compendium on the Most Holy Rosary and led many to delve into the depth of the Mysteries of Christ’s life.
And in your third book you have an easy, clearly laid-out plan for your own special consecration day.
“Devoutly meditating on Her [Mary] and contemplating Her in the light of the Word made man, the Church reverently penetrates more deeply into the great mystery of the Incarnation” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium, n. 65)
"This Saint's teaching has had a profound influence on the Marian devotion of many of the faithful and on my own life. It is a lived teaching of outstanding ascetic and mystical depth, expressed in a lively and passionate style"---Pope John Paul II, 8 December 2003

Il est le fondateur de deux congrégations religieuses : la Compagnie de Marie (les Pères montfortains) d'où seront issus les Frères de Saint-Gabriel et une congrégation féminine : les Filles de la sagesse.

Saint Louis De Montfort was absolutely dedicated to Our Blessed Mother, and he is excited to share Her with all of us. His path to Her Blessed Heart is laid out clearly and cleanly. If you are interested in consecrating yourself to Our Blessed Mother this book is the perfect preamble. I have been spiritually enriched by it, and I will be starting my consecration on the next Marian feast day.

Fascinating book on the beauty of devotion to Mary. St Louis de Montfort explains the scriptural evidence for the devotion, along with the teachings of Saints and Popes who have practised this devotion.
33 day consecration at the end.

Can be difficult to get through, but well worth the effort. One less star because of the difficulty in reading it, but the content is outstanding!
