Christianity was born nearly 2000 years ago in ancient Palestine. It has shaped the course of human history. Yet historians still cannot say how it really began. How did a 1st-century Jew called Jesus manage to spark a new religion?

It is one of the biggest and most profound of all historical mysteries. This extraordinary book finally provides the answer. And it has been staring us in the face for over a century.

Through the centuries, Our Blessed Lady has appeared frequently on earth with messages of warning, hope, and consolation for humanity--but never more frequently than in the last two centuries. Heralded as the Marian Age, the past two hundred years have been blessed with numerous appearances of Our Lady, each one offering messages of inspiration and hope and urging the world to return to the love of God through prayer, penance, and reparation for sins.
"A Woman Clothed with the Sun "considers the seven most significant apparitions of Our Lady in the past two centuries: that of the Miraculous Medal at Paris, those at La Salette, Lourdes, Knock, Fatima, Beauraing, Banneux--and also the sixteenth-century appearance of Mary at Guadalupe with its profound message for Americans. The historical background of each apparition is given, the vision itself described, and Mary's messages are quoted by writers distinguished for their special knowledge of the apparitions and their literary excellence. In his introductory chapter, editory John J. Delaney traces the relationships between the apparitions and provides a penetrating analysis of their significance.
Recipient of the Marian Library Medal, "A Woman Clothed with the Sun "has been critically acclaimed as the one book on Our Lady that should be read by everyone.

Foreword:

Brighter than the twinkling stars in the sky, and yet softer than the wool on a baby lamb, the light of God will be upon us in the next life too. Abundantly so with goodness, and much to our delight, we will hardly be grasping it entirely, unless one has been immersed into and has experienced the connecting light while fully maximized. The fear of passing away should no longer exist in our mind. Complicated thinking is all that it is. Just as simple as knowing there is love in the afterlife, that is where our heart and soul belongs. Travel to heaven in the highway of your mind. It is very safe lifting a yielding conscious to achieve exceptional knowledge within the spirit world.

Author [self] bio:

Greg Belter is an Illinois native, who since at an early age has shown serious interest in the spirit world. Visiting the hereafter is a natural occurrence for him, from the grandiose out of body experiences, to the most splendid heavenly visions each and every day. His words are golden.

Op Oujaarsaand 2011 ontaard 'n lekker familiebraai in 'n skokkende nagmerrie toe 'n bottel vuuraanstekergel in 'n pa se hande ontplof en op sy dogtertjie beland. Met 80% brandwonde gee dokters vir die 2½-jarige Pippie Kruger net 'n 10% kans op oorlewing.

Pippie vertel op hartroerende wyse van die pynlike pad wat ma Anice, pa Erwin en hul gesin sedert dié ongeluk gestap het.

Die boek deel gebeure en ervarings wat nog nie van-tevore in die media bekendgemaak is nie:

• Erwin maak sy hart oop en vertel met rou eerlikheid hoe die tragedie hulle verhouding geraak het.
• Pippie se oupa en ouma verwoord hulle gevoelens.
• Anice se ervaring van Pippie se baanbreker-operasie met gekloonde vel - 'n eerste in Afrika!
• Aangrypende vertellings van die dokters en spesialiste wat Pippie behandel het.
• 16 bladsye roerende foto's - sommige wat die wêreld nog nooit gesien het nie.

Pippie vertel van 'n ma se stryd met God en 'n wil om nooit moed op te gee nie. Dit is 'n inspirerende verhaal van ongekende deursettingsvermoë, vurige hoop en onwankelbare vertroue in God.

Geoff and Hope Price present some cases of divine intervention illustrating various ways in which ordinary people have experienced the touch of God.
