Author: Mary of Agreda 

Publication Date: 1665


This book, by Mary of Agreda (an abbess and mystic in the 1600s), was the first of her writings concerning the Immaculate Conception and early life of the Virgin Mary. The Vatican has authorized this as being a true and verified case of divinely inspired private revelation. In the end, one must rely on faith and discernment with equal proportions. Assuming its legitimacy (it is certainly written with good intention), I have found it to be literally quite life-changing. This has challenged and moved me in such a way that no book has before. I feel blessed for having received it and I will hold it in high regard always.

For a deep and loving insight into the life of our most Holy Mother, this book cannot be recommended highly enough.
