Book Review: "History's Queen" By Mike Acquilina

"In History’s Queen, you’ll learn about the many ways the mother of humanity has left her mark on the great events of time, not only as we see them in the Bible, but also in pivotal events such as Fatima, the battle of Lepanto, and the plague."

Mike truly provided a fresh new perspective on the Virgin Mary Mother of God for all of the readers to enjoy.

It was quite unique to learn about the history and religious beliefs surrounding Mary from the biblical references showed why so many continue to follow her to this present day.

Some of what was explored included but was not limited too:

"Mary’s centrality in the Church Fathers’ view of history;
Mary’s role in preserving Byzantium during the explosive rise of Islam;
Marian devotion in medieval Ireland that inspired generations of great missionaries;
Mary’s role in military victories at Lepanto and Vienna; and
the message of peace received by three shepherd children in Fatima that sustained the world through a century of unprecedented violence and apostasy"

I thoroughly enjoyed this thoughtful portrayal and look forward to more reads from this author.
