Finding Mary Becket Ghioto

Finding Mary is a children's picture book inspired by Biblical Theology of the Church Fathers. It's all about Marian typology! What is that? It's investing how women of the Old Testament are types of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. This book illustrates 16 women of the Old Testament-Eve, Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Leah, Tamar, Jochebed, Miriam, Rahab, Deborah, Jael, Judith, Hannah, Esther, Ruth, and Bathsheba-and provides descriptions in poetical verse of how they are a type of Mary. The illustrations are in the Classical Style of art while still retaining an aesthetic pleasing to contemporary tastes. This makes the images vibrant and evocative. The composition of each one tells such a beautiful story in themselves that they capture the fascination of adults and the imagination of children. Finding Mary teaches children and adults alike how to "find Mary" in the Old Testament.
