Our Lady of Guadalupe: Mother of the Civilization of Love

This was such a beautiful book and enjoyable read! The book was very informative and detailed! It doesn't just explain the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe,but also explains who Juan Diego was. I particularly enjoyed reading about the connection of Our Lady of Guadalupe to the Indigenous people of Mexico which is rarely or never spoken of. This piece of knowledge connects as to why the Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is so sacred and so powerful!

Hands down, the absolute best book I have ever read in my entire life!!

Interesting read

Shares the research that provides historical details not often found - with actual sources and full footnotes. That is just one thing I love about the book. Overall, it provides the context for understanding the faith of millions.and hopefully, millions more.

This book is very helpful toward a good understanding of the apparitions at Tepeyac, Mexico and the spirituality which issues from them. It enlightens the reader concerning the actual history of the events and applies this understanding in genuinely helpful ways. I highly recommend it.

While it can get a bit theological at times, Carl Anderson does a great job of ferreting out the details of the story of the apparition of Mary at Guadeloupe. Not only does Anderson objectively present the evidence that illustrates the truth in this apparition, he also helps us understand how God communicated to the indegeounous of Latin America, bringing them from their tyranical gods to the God of love and peace. It is clearly a great depicition of how we are being asked to communicate in the Christian role of Evangelism.

This book is a really great introduction to the devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe. The authors tell the story of Saint Juan Diego and the apparitions that occurred on Tepayac hill. The content of the book then continues to explain the miracles of the canonization of Saint Juan Diego as well as the scientific studies done on the Tilma. The point of Anderson makes is that the Blessed Mother going to lead her people into a civilization of love. I think that book is very well written and it kept my attention.

Very good read. The explanation of the unity of the Americas is profound. The richness of this book is tangible and reminded me of the need to 'love my neigbor'!

The book is very attractively bound and would make a lovely gift. It also has a tremendous amount of detail without becoming complex or boring. It is very well researched and written and I am sure it will be a blessing to anyone who wants to know more about this incredibly important apparition of Mary: it's continuing purpose and deepening relevance for all peoples at this auspicious time.

am wertvollsten ist andersons beschreibung der im marienbildnis enthaltenen atzteken-symbolik, die er anschliessend auf den inhalt des nican mopohua (hier wird erzählt-der erscheinungsbericht) hin deutet.

Really likes this book to read!

The authors have put together all the essentials of Our Lady’s apparition to Saint Juan Diego in 1531, plus a lot more of deeply spiritual happenings and explanations. It inspires and urges one to live a deeply Christian life.
