I found this book would show Catholics how Mary is supported by the scriptures and her importance to Jesus and therefore us. And for non-Catholics you will see how Mary is prayed to for intercession and is not worshipped. Which seems to be a large misconception held by many.

We are shown what the Bible itself has to say about Mary. And we are explained the Church's teachings on Her. This book also covers Mary in Liturgy, the Sacraments and our daily life. There is a discussion of Apparitions and what they mean. The last three chapters are a very good explanation of how the Rosary is the Bible translated into Prayer. ( )
