Heidi Hess-Saxton | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

When she converted to the Catholic tradition in 1994, Saxton says she initially found it difficult to "get close to Mary." This difficulty resolved itself over time . but she never completely understood her own initial reluctance until she became a foster parent in 2002, and experienced the children's initial resistance to her parenting efforts. Behold Your Mother contains three short stories from the author's life that illustrate Mary's "spiritual motherhood"; then a series of forty-eight short reflections, based on Scripture, on the life of Jesus' mother. This is a second, expanded edition of Saxton's book With Mary in Prayer (Loyola Press).
