Review Quotes
For some of us, love of the Theotokos comes easily; but for some of us (like Brandi Schreiber and myself) it's a slow, uncertain process. This beautifully written book describes what it's like to begin to trust her, and bring her our most heartfelt needs. We then find that, just as Jesus said, she is now the Mother of us all.
-Frederica Mathewes-Green, author of Mary as the Early Christians Knew Her
In this earthy and evocative spiritual memoir, Brandi Willis Schreiber traces the deepening of her relationship with Mary, the Theotokos. . . . She brings us along with her, inviting us to make Mary more our Mother, too. This book-enchanting and tender, readable and -relatable-will be balm to those beginning their own search for the Theotokos.
-Laura S. Jansson, author of Fertile Ground: A Pilgrimage Through Pregnancy
A Long Walk with Mary isn't about Mary as much as it's about the walk, the Christian's spiritual journey. . . . Her delicate prose invites the reader into the beautiful, everyday interactions and experiences in which, when one listens prayerfully, God and His Saints whisper to us.
-Elissa Bjeletich, author & podcaster, Tending the Garden of Our Hearts
