The World of Marian Apparitions Mary's Appearances and Messages from Fatima to Today by Wincenty Łaszewski

The world-changing appearance of Our Lady at Fatima ushered in a continuing series of remarkable apparitions worldwide that the Church has either officially approved or marked as likely-authentic. Author and Mariologist Wincenty Laszewski summarizes the powerful and urgent messages of these apparitions in this unparalleled, encyclopedic work-instantly the new standard on the subject. Most of these riveting chapters include portentous warnings - some are ominous, others more hopeful. This stunning book serves as a wake-up call to the faithful and is a worldwide clarion call to deeper prayer and conversion. It includes:

• Over 400 pages describing the fully documented miracles and visions
• Fascinating accounts by eyewitnesses, including non-believers
• 50+ maps of locations and pilgrimage sites
• Photos and illustrations: documents, events, and faces of the visionaries
• The finest works of art and reproductions of Our Lady

Each message and appearance is analyzed and quoted precisely. Their sheer abundance is enough to absorb believing Catholics-and many a skeptic-from all walks of life and reading habits. A partial listing of those described includes:
