“How can we save civilization?” It’s becoming a common question. As the world descends into chaos, Christians are thinking deeply about how to stem the tide. Many options have been presented to overcome Christian persecution and cultural decadence, but The Marian Option is one that is already in motion…and has been for centuries. Dr. Carrie Gress provides a thoroughly researched account of the significant cultural and military events where Mary interceded on behalf us, her children. With a detective’s eye, Gress uncovers the fascinating details of Mary’s role in major geopolitical shifts, showing how instrumental Our Mother was in: - Freeing Spain from Islamic occupation - Igniting the largest mass conversion to Catholicism in history - Leading an unassuming priest to bring down the world’s most powerful empire without firing a shot - Stomping out heresies and false teachings from the Church Beyond the battlefield, The Marian Option also highlights the link between Marian devotion and culture, showing how the arts flourish when devotion to her is strong. If we want to protect our children and our faith—if we want to restore civilization to Christ—Mary is the key. Not only is she keenly interested in assisting Christians, but she also has the ability to do so, even in the face of the gravest odds. We just have to ask. The Marian Option will leave you with a new perspective on the Blessed Mother, a renewed hope in the future of the Church and the world. Hardback; 240 pages; 22.2x14.6cm

Beautifully situated on a base of Brazilian Walnut Timber, this Unity Crucifix will be a daily reminder that Our Blessed Mother always leads us to the life giving side of Jesus her Son. The Unity Cross was originally designed in Brazil in 1960 by Fr. Angel Vicente Cerro of the Schoenstatt Movement, a Marian Apostolic movement of the Catholic Church. It depicts the Virgin Mary — the "woman" at the foot of the cross — as an icon of the Church and humanity, receiving the blood of the crucified Christ in a chalice. It is the moment of the mystical, spousal union of the New Adam and the New Eve. The asymmetrical yet balanced shape of the cross is unique to Cerro's design. The Unity Cross was adopted by Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta as a symbol for her community and a large Unity Cross is prominent in the chapel of the motherhouse of the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India. In 1981, it was given to Pope John Paul II by the Schoenstatt family after he was shot in Saint Peter's Square where it became it was a comfort and companion for the Holy Father during that 'trying hour.'
