Although Mary is a preeminent figure in Christianity and one of the most celebrated women in history, to many Christians she seems distant and unapproachable, a porcelain perfection of abstract motherhood that is irrelevant to their everyday existence.

Many Christians are hearing new wisdom in her Magnificat and are searching for ways to integrate her into their lives of faith. Although we inevitably look at Mary from a twenty-first-century perspective, in this book Duckworth shows that our appreciation will be deeply ... Read more

Reviews for Mary: The Imagination of Her Heart
Penelope Duckworth’s many-faceted meditation on Mary, the mother of Jesus, gave me, as even the few sentences in the New Testament could not, an understanding of Mary’s influences throughout history, and even more important, perhaps, a vibrant tenderness for her experience, for her life. The text is fascinating, careful and yet lyrical. This book is pure gift.
