Awesome.
This is the second book by Jean M. Heimann that I have read and also the second book on Fatima that I have read on this the 100th Anniversary of the appearances. This book is visually stunning. The layout is phenomenal, the way the numerous pictures are interspersed make the book a joy to read. The images are a mix of pictures, photos and artwork about the visits of Our Lady of Fatima. And also other artwork from church history. Jean presents the history of the aspirations, the life of the three children and papal interactions. The chapters in this book are: Timeline Forward Prelude The Visionaries of Fatima The First Two Apparitions The Third Apparition – July 13, 1917 The Next Three Apparitions Illness and Death Come for Two Visionaries Convents, Continuing Apparitions, and Contemplation The Popes and Fatima Conclusion: The Centennial and Beyond Appendix: Three Fatima Miracles Afterword Bibliography The book begins with a timeline that spans from 1916-2013. Jean writes in such an engaging manner that you will find once you pick up this book you will have a hard time putting it down. I enjoyed it so much that I have started reading it a second time with my oldest child. Like me, she has fallen in love with the story of three children with such devotion. There is also an extensive bibliography at the end of the book for those who want to read further. And after reading Jean’s book I believe that many readers will want to study the aspirations and related events further. This book is very well written. I loved this book and highly recommend it. If you already have a strong devotion to Mary this book will help deepen it. If not this book will open your eyes to the relationship Mary has with the world, and interceding for it. An incredible read, thank you Jean!
