"Queen of the Flower World Paradise is itself a beautiful world of flowers, lustrously illustrated, which grows from the roots of legend and blossoms into the fruits of faith" -Joseph Pearce
"Queen of the Flower World Paradise is a beautiful gem. In its charming illustrations and the sensitive poetic sense of its text, the author reveals the mysterious way in which God moved in the intuitions of pre-Christian Mesoamericans, preparing them through their legends for the full revelation of truth brought to them by Our Lady of Guadalupe-she who would tell of redemption through her Son and show them the gate to Paradise." -Michael D. O'Brien
