Long ago, before time began, the God who sees all laid out a plan;
A plan of love, a plan of grace, a plan to show man His holy face.
In Mary, Mother of All, best-selling writers Scott Hahn and Emily Stimpson Chapman tell children of all ages about Our Lady's role to salvation. Mary, Mother of All
begins with the account of creation and the Fall and continues with
God's unfolding plan of salvation via the use of lovely images by Tricia
Dugat. A Mother whose love is still with us today is vital to this
plan.
This outstanding presentation, which explains Catholic
teaching about Mary in terms that even the most tender-hearted among us
can grasp, will be much appreciated by children—and their parents.
Since
1990, Scott Hahn has served as the Fr. Michael Scanlan Professor of
Biblical Theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville. Dr. Hahn is
the founder and president of the St. Paul Center. He and Kimberly Hahn
have been married since 1979 and have six children together as well as
twenty-one grandchildren. Rome Sweet Home, The Lamb's Supper, and Hope to Die are only a few of Dr. Hahn's best-selling novels and academic publications that he has written or edited.
The
Catholic Table: Finding Joy Where Food and Faith Meet, These Beautiful
Bones: An Everyday Theology of the Body, The Catholic Girl's Survival
Guide for the Single Years, and Hope to Die: The Christian Meaning of
Death and the Resurrection of the Body, co-authored with Scott
Hahn, are among the more than half a dozen books by the award-winning
Catholic author Emily Stimpson Chapman. She also wrote numerous studies
for the women's ministry Endow and served as editor of the high school
faith formation series Formed in Christ. Chapman, her husband Chris, and
their three young children reside in Pittsburgh.
“Mary,
Mother of All may be one of the best Catholic kids’ books I’ve ever
seen, simply because it’s a delightful read for both adults and
children. . . . This book is a triumph, and you need to add it to your
family library.”
Katie Prejean McGrady, Speaker, Author, and Host of The Katie McGrady Show on Sirius XM
“It’s
never too early to introduce children to the Mother God the Father
chose for His Son and that Son from Calvary chose for us. In this
beautiful work, Scott Hahn, Emily Stimpson Chapman, and Tricia Dugat
help children of God young and old get to know Mary better, to
understand her role in salvation history, and to love her with grateful
affection as Jesus does.”
Fr. Roger J. Landry, Catholic Chaplain, Columbia University
“Happily
ensconced on page after page of gorgeous artwork, the lovely, lyrical
text of this gem of a book will surely embed itself in the memories of
children and adults alike. I envision children begging to hear it again
and again, and their grownups happily complying. Everyone will come away
with a deeper, truer love for Our Lady.”
Elizabeth Foss, Founder, Take Up and Read
“This
simple, succinct, and yet utterly profound theology of Mary is a must
for every Catholic home. Mary, Mother of All is sure to transform the
hearts of parents and children alike. I truly cannot recommend it highly
enough.”
Stephanie Weinert, Founder, Mother & Home
“These
pages are full of truth, goodness, and beauty. While we cannot love Our
Lady more than her Son, as St. Maximilian Kolbe said, this book
certainly makes me take up that challenge—to love her more and more and
to seek refuge within her mantle.”
Rachel Bulman, Author, Speaker, and Star of Meet the Bulmans
“This
beautiful book is the perfect catechetical tool for nourishing little
hearts and needs a permanent place in every Catholic child’s library!”
