Summary: author embroidered too much--irritating
Comment: I have not finished this book. The author's descriptions of Mary are off-putting. For example: "If early images are correct, she had a small straight mouth, a thin chiseled nose, and a drawn look that was sometimes sorrowful. She was of medium height and had brown hair with dark bangs and eyebrows, her face neither long nor round but oval, her hands and fingers tapered, delicate, and long. She was a regular peasant in a small, regular hillside house, and her life had been one of prayer and toil: drawing water, cooking, and repairing clothes. She had subsisted on fruit, fish, and bread; in manner always serene and demure...."
I have not seen the Blessed Mother, but I would be surprised if her expression is "drawn." And I doubt her manner was "always serene and demure." A "regular peasant"? The mother of God, while pregnant, traveled to see her pregnant cousin and stay with her till the birth of her child. At a wedding, she basically told her Son to turn the water into wine.
Contrast the author's description with the words of Julian of Norwich (admittedly a saint and the first woman to write a book in English): "a simple maid and meek, so young she seemed like a mere child--yet the very same age when she conceived. And God showed me then something of the wisdom and truth of her soul In particular, I saw her attitude toward God, her Maker, how she marveled with great reverence when he wished to be born of her, who was a mere and simple creature he himself had made. It was this wisdom, this truth, seeing how great was her Maker compared to her own littleness, that made her say to Gabriel, 'Behold me, God's handmaid.' Then I knew for certain that she was more worthy and more full of grace than all the rest of God's creation, with the sole exception of the manhood of Christ."
Also, I personally dislike the notion that Mary's life was one of "prayer and toil." What about relationships with people? And she had a Little Boy. Didn't she play with Him? I feel, think and believe her life was one of LOVE.
So, the visions are interesting, but the author defeats himself more than a little with perilously distracting--and highly debatable--asides.

Summary: REVEALING! Human history entwined w/h Mary's Apparitions!
Comment: Buy this book. You will benefit highly - if you don't - I can ony say I'll pray for you. This book is excellent! Here is a very fair-handed review of human history and Mary's apparitions throughout. As a Catholic, I find nothing "coincidental" in the linking of plagues and apparitions,wars and apparitions, healings and apparitions - and so on. What I like about this book is that it knits these things together in a sensible fashion. The picture one then begins to see is so revealing! Not all apparitions are, um, Heaven Sent - it speaks clearly on these as well. It is by no means a "gullible" book.
