“When you love someone, you want to know all about his life and character, so as to become like him.” – St. Josemaria St. Josemaria spoke these words about the Lord Jesus, but they also apply to his Blessed Mother, Mary. The more we love Mary, the more we will want to know everything about her so as to become like her. The Maiden of Nazareth is a delightfully imaginative story that will help you get to know the Blessed Virgin Mary -- not as a statue in a church -- but as a living, breathing, human being. It follows her life from her immaculate conception and birth, up through her assumption into heaven, and it introduces you to the various characters that accompanied her along the way: Her parents Joachim and Anne, various cousins and relatives, her husband Joseph, Jesus, his apostles and various disciples and friends. You will feel like you know all of them much better after having read this book! This story is the fruit of many years of contemplating the life of the Blessed Virgin. Its primary source is the author’s imagination – an imagination fired by the love of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Javier Suárez-Guanes, nace en Madrid en la década de los treinta; de origen asturiano y corazón castellano. Licenciado en Derecho por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, se doctora en Roma en 1956. Al año siguiente es ordenado sacerdote y, tras una breve estancia en Barcelona, parte a México donde ejerce su ministerio sacerdotal en áreas rurales. En 1962 llega a Guatemala para trabajar con los estudiantes de una Residencia y los socios de un Club juvenil. Posteriormente pasa siete años en El Salvador en otra Residencia de estudiantes; de regreso a Guatemala -donde reside actualmente-desarrolla una amplia labor pastoral, como capellán de la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Paz. Ahí, aprovechando los escasos tiempos libres que le dejan sus feligreses, escribió este libro. También ha publicado Respuestas de la Virgen.

All'inizio della Guerra Civile Spagnola, nel 1936, il fondatore e la maggior parte dei membri dell'Opus Dei si trovavano nella zona repubblicana. Tutti cercarono ricoveri per fuggire dalla dura repressione rivoluzionaria. Nel corso dei mesi, i rifugi e gli asili diplomatici non furono più sicuri e si tentarono le fughe e le spedizioni verso l'estero. Grazie all'attenzione di José María Escrivá, l'Opus Dei sopravvisse in mezzo alla tragedia collettiva creata dal conflitto armato.
Quest'opera è la più estesa biografia di san Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975), elaborata anche sul materiale della causa di canonizzazione, avvenuta in Piazza S. Pietro a Roma il 6 ottobre 2002. Un particolare interesse rivestono le numerose citazioni dagli "Appunti intimi", una sorta di diario interiore che Josemaría Escrivá tenne a partire dall'inizio degli anni '30 del XX secolo. Questo secondo volume prende in esame la vita di Escrivá dal 1936 al 1946.
