Mariology

“Mondays with Mary” – The Marian Section of My Personal Library

Someone recently asked me how many books on the Blessed Virgin Mary I have in my personal library at home and after thinking about it for a second, I said, a lot. With all kidding aside, at that very moment, I couldn’t tell them, but did go home and count them. As of today, and the Marian section is still being developed since there are some books I don’t have yet, I have thirty-five books on the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Although I have written on books before herehere, and here, it came to me as I was counting my Marian books that I have never shared with you the thirty-five books on the Blessed Virgin Mary. These books are not in any specific order nor are they ranked on importance. At the end of this list, I will share with you a few books that I don’t have yet, but plan on purchasing soon.
