Anyone who doubts the existence of God should read this book. In fact, everyone should read this book. This book is about one of the least talked about modern miracles that is indisputable because of the multitude of witnesses who saw the event. As the title states, this book chronicles eye witness testimony of people who actually witnessed the miracle of the sun at Fatima. It is well written and you can't put it down. Anyone who has a true objective eye and a penchant for the truth will come to the only conclusion possible. That is, we are all under the power of an incredible God who truly loves us.

I read the original edition of this book and have just reread this updated edition, so I have updated this review. The author interviews many eyewitnesses to the events of the Miracle of the Sun that occurred in October 13, 1917. This book records their statements, it does not promote any church position. It shows how 70,000 people saw the sun dance in the sky, spin, and give off different colors. Even the atheist newspaper reporters there to document a crowd of fanatics actually saw it too and reported it accurately in the newspapers.

It reports how the government kidnapped the children and tried to get them to tell the secret and stop going to meet the Lady of the apparitions. The atheist, Marxist government was greatly weakened because of these visions and lost power 10 years later.

A great account, contains interviews with witnesses only seen in this book (as far as I can see), well documented.

I had been looking forward to reading the stories about and from the witnesses. However, it was more a personal commentary by the author on the miracle and apparitions, Portugal, etc - but only scattered little bits from witnesses for about the first half of the book and some in the middle. Defintely not what I had hoped for given the title and the size of the book.


Instead:

Our Lady of Fatima

Fatima: A Message More Urgent Than Ever

The Fatima witnesses does not to have to be credited more than our modern "contactees" and extraterrestrial mythlogy: they have also a message and a transformative process. Why must we believe in the Fatima witnesses and reject the present "experiences" of close encounters? Are the religious criteria better than the our modern "alien experiences" witnesses? Of course not. Fatima phenomena show all the physical and psychological parameters and the same process of the present. Any believer must compare and study the real orginal Fatima reports reserached by Portuguese historians Dr. Joaquim Fernandes and Fina d'Armada in their Fatima books: "Celestial Secrets" and "Heavenly Lights" ( Anomalist Books, 2007 )
