Gifts of the Visitation : Nine Spiritual Encounters with Mary and Elizabeth

In her debut book, speaker, columnist, and Catholic convert Denise Bossert showcases the seasons of birth, grief, newness, and challenge experienced in the hearts of Mary and Elizabeth at the Visitation and invites readers to see these times in their own lives as opportunities to let God make all things new. Within each of those seasons, nine gifts emerge, equipping readers to present Christ to the world-just as Mary and Elizabeth did. Bossert's encounter with Mary, which led her to Catholicism, serves as the window for discovering and exploring the nine gifts-spontaneity, courage, joy, readiness, humility, adventure, hospitality, wonder and awe, and thanksgiving-and helps readers look inside their own hearts to discover what Mary and the gifts of the visit between Mary and Elizabeth mean to them.
