Review of Mary's Life Journey & Her Amazing Yes!
It all started with an argument between a Catholic priest and a Japanese ambassador about why there was war in the world when Mother Mary instructed the Catholics to pray for peace in the world. In his defense, the priest said that though some Catholics do not pray the rosary or obey the instructions as given by Mother Mary, peace is everyone's responsibility. Did the ambassador accept the words spoken to him by the Catholic priest?
The author went on to explain the discrepancy between the scriptures and the Infancy Gospel of James, which was condemned by several church councils and was excluded from the Bible around 500 AD. The sin of Adam and Eve made us faulty in the eyes of God whenever we were in His presence. Therefore, there is a need for reconciliation. How does God intend to do this? What made Mary involved in this plan, and what was the implication of her amazing yes? Grab a copy of this eye-opening book to get the answers to these questions and more.
Mary's Life Journey & Her Amazing Yes! by Denise Mercado is a typical example of a knowledge-packed book. I like how open-minded and honest the author is while describing her experience as a member of the Catholic and Protestant churches. Through her explanations, one will know that she is not biased. I was able to relate and flow along as the author was plain with her explanations.
It is fantastic to know that the author mentioned the works of other people she reviewed during her research in the book and carried out a thorough comparison as well as a comparison of similarities. At times, in conflicting situations among the beliefs of various groups, she asks questions, leaving the reader to discover the answers later on in the book as he or she continues reading.
Part of the lesson learned is that God always answers our prayers and requests, but as humans, we fail to acknowledge that fact. This was portrayed by the children of Isreal in the Bible. It gave me more insight into the specific nature of God as contained in His instructions. I enjoyed the author's vivid narration of various biblical accounts, such as the journey of the children of Israel, the misfortune of Uzzah, and so on.
There is nothing I dislike about this book. Despite its length, I found only a few errors therein. This signifies that it was professionally edited, and it did not prevent me from enjoying the book. Hence, I'm giving it a rating of five out of five stars. I will recommend this book to anyone who is a Catholic or anyone interested in Catholics because they will learn a lot from the author's research.
