Mary is your Mother.
The whole story happens inside her story.
From the first book of the Bible to the last, Is Mary Your Mother? shows Genesis 3:15 and Revelation 12 are one story: a Woman, her Son, her children, and a war you are already a part of.

Verses often quoted assume she is our Mother. They don't prove it.
Many Christians already believe Mary is their Mother. They know it instinctively, as her children. Asked to show it from Scripture, they reach for the same two verses.
Behold, your mother!John 19:27Given to one disciple
Do whatever he tells you.John 2:5Spoken to servants at a wedding
To someone who already believes, these verses confirm it. To someone who doesn't, they hold only if you first grant that Mary is our Mother, and any argument that has not proven its premises first is logically invalid. It loses the argument even if it is true, and gives an excuse to reject the truth along with the argument.
This book starts where the proof starts: in the first book of the Bible, with a promise God makes to the Serpent.
Four ways to read one verse
"I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." Read it four ways, and every reading arrives at the same Woman.
Two sides, and you belong to one
God starts the war Himself: a Woman and her children against the Serpent and his. The two sides are two families of real people.
The Woman cannot be Eve
Eve had just taken the Serpent's side. If the Woman were Eve, there would be no sides, no war, no choice, and no real Savior.
The Mother every generation waited for
Abraham's seed, David's seed, Isaiah's virgin who conceives a son. One Woman is asked, and she says Yes.
"The rest of her seed"
In Revelation 12, John calls every Christian The Woman's seed, using the same Greek word as Genesis 3:15. The Woman whose Son crushed the Serpent's head is Mary.
Every reading ends at Mary, and her children are real people.
The whole story happens inside her story.
For anyone who has been told, "That's not in the Bible."
Where would you start?
A friend asks you: "Show me from the Bible that Mary is my mother." Where do you open first?
There is a family you already belong to, and a Mother waiting to welcome you home.
Put it in every pew.
The book is written to be read together: in a study group, a RCIA or OCIA class, a men's or women's group, or a parish-wide read.
