Manual for Marian Devotion Review: The ESSENTIAL book of Marian devotion - First, this is a beautiful little book - which is, of course, appropriate. It's lovely soft, flexible leather (or feels like leather), that will easily fit into a coat pocket or your purse; it's the right size for my (smallish) adult hands. It's a book that you want to open, to hold, to approach again and again - again, absolutely appropriate. I shouldn't say this, because I have not investigated every book about Marian devotion, but I'll say it anyway: if I wanted to buy ONE book to help someone come to know Mary, appreciate Mary, and enter into more 'relationship' with Mary, I'd get this book. It would be an excellent choice for a new Catholic convert, especially for someone for whom the 'Mary issue' is still something of a struggle or something alien. It contains enough 'apologetic' material to say, 'There is a reasonable explanation for all this' without being an apologetics book. Anyone who finds the simple explanations intriguing can always explore further. I'd definitely recommend 'looking inside' to see the Table of Contents, if it's available. The book is divided into two parts: Preparing for Marian Devotion, which explains Mary in God's Plan, Marian Doctrines, Historical Highlights of Marian Devotion, and Marian Devotion in Practice. Each of these sections is small and easily digested; I took it to daily Mass with me and read a few of the short texts after Mass each day. The second and larger part is Aids for Marian Devotion. Here you get teachings on Marian devotion, which I found a welcome 'moderate' approach. I have read Louis de Montfort and found him overwhelming - a bit like the 'Marian' version of the guy on the street who gets in your face and insists that you 'need to be saved, NOW.' I live in a country with strong Marian devotion, and some de Montfort-formed people are so extreme as to be very off-putting. The texts in this book have the sanity and sense that one expects from nuanced Church documents - again, excellent for anyone who is 'Mary-shy' because of coming from an anti-Mary background or who has been put off by Marian extremists. There's a wonderful section on Mary in Scripture - again helpful for people coming from a Bible-only background. Reading through this book - everything in short, manageable pieces - is like getting a thorough overview of Mary in the Scriptures, Mary in the lives of saints and religious, Marian devotions and miracles over history and around the world. Then you come to Marian prayers - including some with the Spanish and Latin versions. There's something for everyone here, for every style of prayer. Especially helpful for me (I admit having the most wandering mind during the Rosary) are the short texts connected to each mystery of the Rosary, as well as a list of scriptural meditations (you have to look up the texts yourself) for each mystery. There are probably prayers here that you've never heard of before - a real treasury. There are short texts and prayers connected with every Marian Feast in the calendar as well as selections of poetry (nothing cheesy or trite). A charming, and sadly neglected Marian devotion is the crowning of Mary's statue in May. This book gives you the Hymn for crowning, and then a delightful list of flowers that have been associated with the Blessed Virgin over the centuries. I knew a few - like marigolds ('Mary's Gold') and Lady Slipper, but had no idea how many other flowers had alternative Marian names or were associated with Mary. This list invites plenty of exploration for children, gardeners, nature loves and simply trivia or history buffs. Home-schooling parents could create a wonderfully educational project from researching the flowers to growing them and having your own Marian crowning at home. This book is a wonderful compendium of Marian teaching, tradition and prayer; I really can't imagine needing any other book for Marian devotion. At the same time, it is a good launching point if you want to go deeper into teachings about Mary (it may introduce you to saints or papal documents you didn't know about). Great for cradle Catholics, for seminarians, for converts - even for open-minded non-Catholics who are willing to explore Marian devotion without prejudice. Just don't lend them your copy - you might not get it back. Review: Beautiful Little Book - This was one of the first books I bought when I converted. It's a beautiful little volume, and complete. Covers history, various saints devotion to the Holy Mother, and the last section is a ton of prayers, litanies, and devotions. I gifted my original copy to a friend, but not before I'd ordered a replacement for myself. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #114,753 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #72 in Christian Mariology #1,337 in Christian Devotionals (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (270) | | Dimensions | 4.25 x 0.5 x 6.75 inches | | Edition | Lea | | ISBN-10 | 1505108950 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1505108958 | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 328 pages | | Publication date | December 27, 2016 | | Publisher | TAN Books | ## Images ![Manual for Marian Devotion - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811fSERBuaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The ESSENTIAL book of Marian devotion *by D***R on February 18, 2017* First, this is a beautiful little book - which is, of course, appropriate.

It's a beautiful little volume, and complete. Covers history, various saints devotion to the Holy Mother, and the last section is a ton of prayers, litanies, and devotions. I gifted my original copy to a friend, but not before I'd ordered a replacement for myself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ave Maria *by A***E on June 16, 2025* Truly Wonderful. If you're looking to better understand Holy Mother Churches teaching on the Blessed Virgin this is it. If you're looking to strengthen your relationship and devotion to the Queen of Heaven and Earth - This is it. Beautiful prayers, beautiful testimony from Saints. Truly a blessing to have this on your bookshelf. Quality feel to it. Great page quality. I've had mine for a while and I've read it a ton. The silver on the spine is coming off but that can be avoided with more careful hand placement while reading. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/39517083-manual-for-marian-devotion](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/39517083-manual-for-marian-devotion) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
