For some reason this did not resonate with me. But it thoroughly moved my Goddaughter.

What poetry can evoke beauty but the life seeking the Theotokos? Brandi Schreiber has written the most beautiful memoir of her search for the Mother of God. Often, I appreciated her welcoming the me into her experience for me to feel her joy and pain, several times crying along with the sentiment of her journey. As a convert and mother, reading of her journey to the heart of God through His Mother carries so much meaning for me. To think of our Lord and His human temperament brings light to who Mary was, her humility, her humanity, what hope there is for me as a human mother. I dearly enjoyed this personal insight to Schreiber’s walk through life and into motherhood through the lens of the Theotokos. Through the prayers of the Theotokos, O Savior, save us!

“Mary reminds me, in her unfailing example, to have patience and compassion with this situation, just as she has compassion on the entire world.”
This is a lovely book, one woman’s intimate journey with discovering the Holy Mother Mary. Schreiber is a convert to Orthodox Christianity so her experience with Mary is new to her, and it unfolds slowly, but with a great depth of knowledge and comfort.
This book was a wonderful reminder as a Christian woman, to turn to Mary as a role model and for prayerful intercession.

An enjoyable and thought provoking memoir. The author uses stories from her own life, to show how we can relate to Mary. The book is an interesting and relaxing read. The reader learns more about Mary, and her role in our lives. This book seems to more targeted towards women readers, but men can get something out of it. I enjoyed this, well enough to give it four stars.
