A Place Prepared by God: Through the Virgin Mary, the New Eve, Paradise Will Not Fail Twice

A Place Prepared by God is more than a book of reflections on the mystery of the Mother of God. A personal experience of the presence of Our Lady prompted Abbot Joseph to write something to help make her better known and loved. Mary is offered to us by God not merely for our admiration or veneration, but as a real, living Mother with whom we can personally relate, in whose loving company we can walk on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven. Through these pages, you will discover a Woman whom you have perhaps not sufficiently understood before, who shines through the pages of Scripture and the whole experience of the Church, and who invites you to a richer spiritual life. Peppered with personal experiences and a bit of poetry, along with an additional perspective from the Byzantine tradition, this book is more engaging than a standard treatise on Our Lady. When you learn what God has really meant her to be, for the whole world and for you personally, you will surely come to her and allow her to bring you to Jesus.
