Blessed is She

An exploration of Mary, the mother of Jesus, as a model disciple and a Lenten devotional on faith.

But in Blessed Is She, Timothy Perry presents a Mary who belongs in Lent as much as in Advent, who shows what it means to die and live with the crucified and risen Jesus. Drawing primarily from the Gospel of Luke, this lovely book of devotions sketches a Lenten Mary who teaches us about being disciples. The result is a complex, inviting, strong character a disciple to be emulated by all Christians, especially during this holy season.

With a meditation for each day of Lent, along with reflection questions, this is a thought-provoking volume for private use or parish study.

Tim Perry, an Anglican and professor of theology, specializes in the history of Marian doctrinal development for Protestants. He lives in Sudbury, Ontario.
