The 150th anniversary of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception is coming up this December, as is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas.
Are you interested in getting clear, concise material that helps spread Marian devotion?
Take a look at: http://www.bridegroompress.com/guadalupe.htm and http://www.bridegroompress.com/snippets/Guadalupe.pdf
As you can see from the excerpt, the 64-page book Artfully Teaching the Faith has an entire chapter devoted to explaining why the Guadalupe image had such an enormous impact on the Aztecs and how the image is interpreted.
But it gets better.
The book also describes 16 additional masterpieces of medieval and Renaissance art, including Marian-centered pieces like Fra Angelico's Annunciation, William Adolphe Bouguereau's Vierges Aux Anges, Gerard David's Rest on the Flight into Egypt, Leonardo da Vinci's Madonna of the Rocks, and Henry Ossawa Tanner's Annunciation. In each case, the book's text shows you how to read the symbols to discover the doctrine the Catholic master visually embedded in his masterpiece.
This book is perfect for adults, perfect for helping adults teach their children. The commentary is clear, simple, and short - very easily digested, but very informative - definitely the kind of thing that would help people better understand the Christian faith.
If anyone is interested in purchasing this book for distribution, donation or sale, it is currently offered at a price of $2 per book if a case quantity is purchased (176), plus shipping. If more than one case is purchased, the price can go still lower.
