Ad Crucem Books is pleased to partner with Rev. William Weedon and artist Kelly Klages to publish I Remember: A Life of Mary. The full-color book will be available from Amazon before July 1, 2025.
Rev. William Weedon, Assistant Pastor at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Hamel, IL, and host of the LPR Podcast ‘The Word of the Lord Endures Forever,‘ says, "The glory of the saints is the way they point us to Jesus.”
In this little book, I Remember: A Life of Mary, Pastor Weedon traces the events of Mary’s life as recorded in the Scriptures so that she helps us focus all the attention upon her Son and what he has done for us. Scripture is paired with vivid illustrations by Kelly Klages to give us a worshipful, visual focal point.
We will journey;
from the Annunciation (Luke 1:26ff.) to the Visitation (Luke 1:39ff.);
from the Nativity to the Visit of the Shepherds (Lk 2:1ff.);
from the Purification (Lk. 2:35ff.) to the Visit of the Magi (Matt. 2:1ff);
from the Flight to Egypt (Matt. 2:13ff.) to the return to Galilee (Matt. 2:19ff.);
from the Boy Jesus in the temple (Luke 2:41ff.) to the miracle at Cana (John 2:1ff.);
from the family’s attempt to make Jesus take his rest (Mark 3:31ff.);
from the scene beneath the Crucifixion between Jesus and John (John 19:25ff) to the joys of the resurrection and Pentecost (Acts 1:14-2:1ff);
from the growth of the Church to the final hours of Mary’s earthly pilgrimage.
The book is a life of Mary, but its focus is squarely on her Son, our savior and redeemer. This book is for children, but not just those who are chronologically young. It will be enjoyed by the children of God of all ages and become a favorite for years to come!
