I had to change the title to fit it to the subject line!

Has anyone read this book or heard anything about it? It is racing through our parish like wildfire. Currently my MIL is reading it, and wants to loan it to me when she is finished.

I haven't heard a thing about it, but a google on it came up with some very intriguing things. Here is a little blurb about it, and here is it at the Barnes and Noble site.

Now I want to read it!

God Bless,

I read some of the reviews on Amazon and several stated that Catholics shouldn't read the book!

Those reviews would be making that statement due to the fact that the book is based on the alledged apparitions at Medjugorje which have not been recognized authoritatively by the Church.

For the sake of discussion on the board we recognize the many paths to conversion and holiness, we would like to encourage the discussion of fully approved apparitions of Our Lady and shy away from those without authoritative pronouncements of the Church.

I went to Catholic Answers and searched this. Here is a thread I found on it.

I hope this link helps!

Seconding Paula. Thanks Mary! That is one reason I love 4real forum. There always is someone who has knowledge in something I might otherwise impulsively jump into!
