Hail, Holy Queen by Scott Hahn Essential reading for all Catholics! Bestselling author, Scott Hahn illuminates a fresh and enlightening perspective on Mary, Mother of God, and her central importance in the Christian faith. From her divine maternity to her perpetual virginity, from her Immaculate Conception to her Assumption, the Church's core teachings about Mary are intertwined with the mysteries of Christ. He also shows how all the Marian doctrines are relevant even essential to a salvific faith in Jesus. ![]() Combining the best recent scholarship with a convert's in-depth knowledge of the arguments, Staples has assembled the most thorough and useful Marian apologetic you'll find anywhere.

Yet most Protestants and too many Catholics don't understand the role that God wants her to play in our lives.
