An amazingly beautiful book!

You don't need to read from cover to cover. Just open it up and read. You will be so touched and moved that you will open it over and over until before you know it you'll have read every word and be longing for more! It must be the most beautiful book ever written. I've found none more beautiful in over 60 years. Be blessed by this masterpeice! And you can read it over and over. It never gets old.

Great Book, but it is not a light read!

This book will satistfy your spiritual thrist to understand the Blessed Virgin Mary. This book is a little difficult to read if you are new to Marian Devotion. This book is great if you are interested with the theological side of Marian Devotion (like myself). It is filled with devotions and prayers. Reading this book brought me back to the Church. This book made me a devoted son of the Blessed Virgin Mary. If you want to read a masterpiece and don't mind the theological part. Buy this book! Maria Numquam Satis

A Superlative Classic on Mary!

This was one of the most fascinating books I have ever read on our Immaculate Queen, The Blessed Virgin Mary. St. Alphonsus Liguori crafted The Glories of Mary as if he were speaking to Mary as he wrote this magnificent creation. Mary comes alive in this book as St. Alphonsus quotes the many Saints who speak so glowingly and lovingly about the "treasure" we have in our Blesed Mother. Mary, the Immaculate One is the most powerful Saint in Heaven who has saved, from eternal damnation, countless individuals who were devoted to her during their life times. You must read this book to discover how our Blessed Lady protected her loved ones. This book is for those who know little about Mary Immaculate and for those who would like to know more about our Immaculate Queen, the greatest Advocate in Heaven and on earth. I hard such a difficult time putting this book down to complete other duties. When I was reading this book, I felt such peace and joy that continues to remain with me. I underlined so many important events, quotes from Saints, incredible descriptions of how our Blessed Lady saved her children. St. Alphonsus mentions in several locations the importance of praying the holy rosary to become closely attachd to Mary, the Mother of God! More than a great book, a masterpiece!

A Catholic Treasure

If you are looking for great spiritual reading, you just can't do better than St. Alphonsus Liguori. And for all of his fantastic writings, you just can't do better than The Glories of Mary. Profound meditative fodder abounds on every page of this book! The Hail Holy Queen prayer, while beautiful, is a little obscure and hard to understand in our day, but you can count on St. Alphonsus to make this beautiful prayer fill your heart with love for Our Lady. He also writes about the Sorrows of Mary, the Virtues of Mary, the Marian Feasts, and also some prayers and special devotions to the Blessed Mother. This book is a treasure!

Fundamental teachings about Saint Mary

This is the most complete book I've ever read about the Mother of God. Saint Alphonsus Liguori analyses with great detail and precision, but always using a perfectly clear language, the decisive role of Saint Mary in the salvation of human souls and her essential contribution to keep them away from sin and eternal condemnation. It is deplorable that the post-Vatican II modernist Church has almost forgotten these fundamental teachings.

Excellent Read for Those Devoted to Mary

This is one of the richest and most vivid Marian texts I have read in a long time. I highly recommend this text to anyone interested in Marian theology or anyone devoted to the Rosary and Marian piety. It is a classic.It includes meditations on the mysteries of the Rosary, sermons on the primary liturgical feasts of Mary and prayers to Mary. It is thorough. Each expositional section concludes with a prayer and example. If you enjoyed Thomas A Kempis' Imitations of Christ, you will love this book.
