Reviewed by Joan A. RANGE, St. Louis University, ST. LOUIS, MO 63156-0907

"The author of this book is a "convert" to the Catholic Church. And it shows. In the Introduction, Scott Hahn refers to himself as a "Marian Prodigal" (p.3). His early life as a devout Protestant and later as a Presbyterian minister reflects the usual anti-Marian bias of many, non-Catholic Christian churches. After his entry into the Catholic Church his bias strongly reversed itself. Now he laments that even some Catholics and Orthodox Christians have abandoned the rich heritage of Marian devotion. His book is an apology for this reversal."
