Amazon: HERE Praise for When Mary Calls“Margarita Mooney Clayton reminds us of something the modern world has almost forgotten: that Mary is not a sectarian figure but the mother of ALL who follow Christ—Pentecostal, Orthodox, and Catholic. This remarkable book rekindles our sense of wonder at the mysterious partnership between the human and the divine. It invites readers to rediscover a faith in which heaven touches earth, and miracles lead us deeper into truth. When Mary Calls is essential reading.”—Eric Metaxas, #1 NewYork Times bestselling author of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy and host of Socrates in the City and The Eric Metaxas Show “An encounter with Mary is unexpected in our time—because she’s almost universally misunderstood. Dr. Margarita Mooney Clayton traces the many ways over that wall of misunderstanding. First among them is Scripture, of course, and the beauty of biblical typology. I love this book.” —Dr. Scott Hahn, the Father Michael Scanlan TOR Professor of Biblical Theology and the New Evangelization at Franciscan University of Steubenville and author of Hail Holy Queen: The Mother of God in the Word of God
