Of Men and Mary - by Christine Anne Watkins (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, calls this book, "Anointed!", Exorcist Fr. Gary Thomas, subject of the movie, "The Rite," says, "OF MEN AND MARY is superb. The six life testimonies contained within it are miraculous, heroic, and truly inspiring." Certain books as this come along that have the power "to transform lives, to free people from darkness," claims Br. Daniel Maria Klimek, T.O.R. "I plan to share this tremendous work with many through the years."

Powerful in the spirit, OF MEN AND MARY also delivers tasty doses of pure entertainment. You will find yourself inspired by a murderer, a sweet lamb who lost it all, and a man who literally died--and then came back to life. You will suddenly root for a football player tackled by the Blessed Mother, a man caught up in illicit sexual liaisons, and a man whose marriage was as good as dead.

While OF MEN AND MARY may be about six males, it is for everyone, because it is also a book about a woman. In the heat of the fiercest of spiritual battles, when all seemed lost and these men were left with nothing to stand on but stormy seas, they were given a lifeboat. That lifeboat--that woman--is the Blessed Virgin Mary. She is the boat of safety for all of us, the surest and safest passage to the heart of her Son. She is our victory and sweet reassurance that God's plan is infinitely better than our own; and she is our challenge to follow her Son, no matter the cost, no matter how fierce the battle. Read the stories of these brave men, and you will inevitably come away with a desire to climb in the boat with them and sail safely home.

Review Quotes

Of Men and Mary is superb. The six life testimonies contained within it are miraculous, heroic, and truly inspiring. They illustrate the reality of divine grace of Jesus through Mary and the triumph of the human will for good over evil, light over darkness. Of Men and Mary is an injection of hope in a historical time when it is so essential to spiritually thrive.

Fr. Gary Thomas, Pastor, exorcist, and subject of the book and movie, "The Rite."

Of Men and Mary presents the awe-inspiring stories of six men whose lives were changed--and manhood healed--when they entrusted their lives to Mary, the ship of treasures. This book is anointed!

I was deeply moved by this beautiful book. There is an anointing upon it: the Spirit of God radiates through its words. . . It is the kind of book you will want to give out to people, especially those in need of hope. I plan to share this tremendous work with many through the years.

Br. Daniel Maria Klimek, T.O.R., Assistant Professor, Theology Department, Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio

This book is a treasure. It perfectly relays Our Lady's messages in Medjugorje without preaching. May all those who read it be blessed and changed by the testimonies within its covers.

Sr. Emmanuel Maillard, Author of nine books, includingScandalous Mercy: When God Goes Beyond Boundaries

This life-changing book made me laugh and cry from the start. . . Reading it reminded me of the miracles I experienced in Medjugorje and the active role Mary has played in my life. This memorable book has given me a spiritual "shot in the arm" and a resurgence of love for Our Lady, Queen of Peace, and the messages of Medjugorje. A must-read for all!
