Summary:
"As the world descends into chaos, Christians are thinking deeply about how to stem the tide. Many options and suggestions have been presented to deal with Christian persecution and cultural decadence, but none can hold a candle to The
Marian
Option
. Dr. Carrie Gress provides a thoroughly researched view of the significant cultural and military events mediated through Mary on behalf of her spiritual children. From miraculous victories to the soaring heights of culture, you have never seen Mary like this before. Until now, books on the Virgin Mary have generally focused upon one apparition or various theological elements of this mysterious woman. But the scope of The
Marian
Option
is far greater. Drawing from a vast array of dogmas, Vatican approved apparitions, and writings of the saints, Dr. Gress has pulled together the remarkable story of Mary'
s
overwhelming influence and intercession. Gress brings to light the fascinating details of Mary'
s
role in major geopolitical shifts. How instrumental the Mother of
God
was in Freeing Spain from Islamic occupation, Igniting the largest mass conversion to Catholicism in history, Leading an unassuming priest to bring down the world'
s
most powerful empire without firing a shot, and Stomping out heresies and false teachings from the Church. The
Marian
Option
also highlights the link between
Marian
devotion and high culture, showing how creativity and the arts painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and literature all flourish when devotion to her is strong. Carrie Gress has a PhD from the Catholic University of America and is a faculty member at Pontifex University"--Provided by publisher.
