This book was required for the Theology class I'm taking toward my Bachelor's Degree. I would not have know it existed unless I took the course. If you have an interest in the Mary, the Mother of Christ, I recommend this book. It has some lovely poems, prayers and some historical notes. I am also proud to inform you that my professor wrote a one of the poems in the book.
