Considered by many to be the greatest single book of Marian spirituality ever written, True Devotion to Mary is St Louis de Montfort's classic statement on the spiritual way to Jesus Christ though the Blessed Virgin Mary. Beloved by countless souls, this book sums up the entire Christian life, showing a way of holiness that is short, easy, secure, and perfect--a way of life chosen by Our Lord Himself. In this beautiful and sublimely inspiring book, de Montfort explains the wonderful spiritual effects which true devotion to Mary brings about in a person's life. This new edition in the TAN Classic format includes an expanded Preparation for Total Consecration with readings and prayers. There is no better way to advance quickly in holiness, no better way to please God, and no better way to guarantee one's present sanctity and eternal salvation than the true devotion to Mary.
This is an excellant adn very deep book. Sometimes it takes reading the book several times to understand some of its meanings.
Absolutely brilliant!! THE book on Marian devotion.

No other book on Marian devotion comes close to this one. St. Louis could have been canonized on account of this book alone! (okay, maybe not technically, but the book really is that good). I highly recommend this book for anyone who questions devotion to Mary, especially those who wonder if it 'goes too far.' This book does a perfect job of explaining what is appropriate, what is not, and why. If you only read one book about our Blessed Mother, this one should be it. A+! Thank you St. Louis for sharing with us such divine inspiration!
Why love Mary, and how can i love her more perfectly?

This book explains why the Catholic Church loves and is devoted to Mary, the Mother of God. If you already know you love her, than this book will explain how you can take that love ,for the Mother of God, a little deeper in order for her to nuture Christ within us. This book is one that has changed my life and devotion to Mary, the Mother of God, forever and I think one that will change you too.
