This is not one of those books! As a Catholic who has done a fair amount of reading in recent years, in and out of the classroom, I found this book to be fully engaging and enjoyable, from intro to conclusion.Especially regarding a topic like the Virgin Mary, abut which so much has already been written, it's hard to have something fresh to say. And by "fresh," I do not mean theological innovation but simply a new objective or perspective. Dr. Carrie Gress has given us such a book. Although she draws from many great saints and other sources throughout, I never once found myself asking "OK, what's the point?" Her writing is so clear and concise, she can dive into her sources without losing sight of the target. I found this very refreshing, as several books I have read recently came from priests and theologians who may have had good intentions but lacked the writing talent to serve their readers. Gress has both!Having done some professional writing over the years, and now finding myself in the seminary classroom, I tend to be somewhat critical of an author's writing style and choices as I read. So one of my joys while reading this book was enjoying page after page without being turned off by poor writing mixed with good subject matter- Gress delivers a great subject wrapped in good writing.In some books, appendices look like extra material an author or publisher tacked on to lengthen a skimpy book. Not so here; a very trim and useful appendix sends the reader off with something on which to chew for a while. And speaking of book length, Gress has crafted a perfect work. It is neither too short, making one feel shortchanged, nor too long, losing our interest before the curtain falls.One curious thing I found... towards the end of the book, Gress relates the traditional story of Saint Peter leaving Rome to avoid being killed. In it, the author writes that Our Lord asks Peter, "Where are you going?" The way I have often heard the story is that in walking away from Rome to avoid being crucified, Peter encounters Our Lord. Peter asks "Where are you going, Lord?" Our Lord replies, "I'm going to Rome to be crucified again." Peter than turns around and heads back to Rome. But who knows, such a traditional tale may have more than one version.I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Our Lady, the Rosary, the role of Mary in the Church, the state of our society or all of the above. And if you purchase the hard copy of the book, you will find that the cover art is almost as lovely as its author. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A thoughtful and inspirational book *by A***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2023* Dr. Gress really gave us a wonderful book. It is carefully written and builds with a steady progression to the end which is really worth the wait if you get bogged down early on. Stick with it and you will find it well worth the read. I did like the mix of careful research and thoughtful commentary. I have been thinking a lot about it ever since I finished, which I think is the mark of a great book. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Super book. *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2024* I got the hardback and have been impressed with the subject matter and the author's viewpoint.It is very good food for thought.Thank you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/46518441-the-marian-option-gods-solution-to-a-civilization-in-crisis](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/46518441-the-marian-option-gods-solution-to-a-civilization-in-crisis) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
