FAQs
Does this book distinguish between approved and unapproved apparitions?
Yes. One of the central strengths of this compendium is its careful, theological classification of Marian apparitions and private revelations as Church-approved, unapproved, or currently pending discernment.
Is this suitable as a daily devotional or just a reference book?
It serves remarkably well as both! While structured as an exhaustive reference encyclopedia, the inspiring biographies and extraordinary accounts of the saints make it a deeply uplifting source for daily spiritual reading.
