United States Navy veteran and devotee of the Blessed Mother, author Paul Reddington writes about the Virgin Mary's unique motherhood in his new book, "Mary Mother of God" (published by AuthorHouse).

A fictionalized storytelling of Mary's life spanning from before her son's birth until after his crucifixion, "Mary Mother of God" offers a unique perspective on Mary's thoughts and feelings throughout the trials of her life and spotlights her devotion to God.

"Mary was very obedient to God's difficult requests," Reddington says. "Her faith kept her
going."

"Mary Mother of God" also focuses on motherhood and the challenges associated with raising children. Reddington has 12 children - nine girls and three boys - and he considers the time spent raising them to have been a learning experience about women and motherhood.

A glimpse into the life of a simple woman with great responsibility, "Mary Mother of God" is a family-friendly story that reaches beyond Christianity.

"While I hope the book will inspire others to get more involved in the church," Reddington says, "I think many people can relate to the challenges Mary faced."
