She came to the doorway and stood there, hesitating. Then she saw Elizabeth, and a soft sigh of joyful relief passed through her lips…

In these moments, says Marci Alborghetti, everything comes together for Mary. She comprehends the magnitude of what God has done for the world as she begins her prayer of praise: “My soul magnifies the Lord.”

Let Marci Alborghetti’s unforgettable book transport you back to the hills of Judea, to the home of Elizabeth and Zechariah, as you imagine the visit and prayer of a teenage girl from Nazareth who changes the course of human history. Using historical and biblical background, Alborghetti pieces together a narrative to help you read and pray each verse of The Magnificat as you never have before.

With each chapter you’ll uncover new meaning and perspectives on Mary’s words, drawing you to a deeper understanding of God’s dream for the world through his Son’s life, death and resurrection.  As you stand at the threshold of that home in Judea more than 2,000 years ago, you’ll begin to see  just how fresh and new Mary’s Magnificat still is for us today.
