The Secrets of Medjugorje and Garabandal Revealed, fourth edition [Kindle Edition]

Ronald L Conte Jr (Author)

Book Description

A book of Roman Catholic speculative eschatology, based on study and interpretation.

The author, Ronald L. Conte Jr., is the translator of the Catholic Public Domain Version of the Bible, a conservative Catholic translation of the Latin Vulgate. He is also the author of the books: 'The Catechism of Catholic Ethics' and 'Roman Catholic Teaching on Abortion and Contraception'. His other books cover diverse subjects in theology, including Mariology, Biblical chronology, eschatology, and other topics.

At Garabandal, and at Medjugorje, the Virgin Mary appeared to a group of children and gave them secrets about the future. At Garabandal, these are called the Warning, the Miracle, and the Chastisement. At Medjugorje, these are called the ten secrets. This book offers specific dates and events for these secrets, based on a study of the Bible, Catholic eschatology, and the words of the Virgin Mary in various apparitions.

This fourth edition has revised dates and events for a number of the secrets. This book describes the first part of the tribulation based on the apparitions and messages of the Virgin Mary at Medjugorje and at Garabandal.

1.0 out of 5 stars Failed prophecies recycled into 2nd, 3rd & 4th editions of this book April 25, 2012

By RCB "Catholic"

Format:Kindle Edition

The whole reason there is a 4th edition of this book emanates from the authors 'Jehovahs Witness'-like compulsion towards picking and choosing dates for the onset of the secrets and miracles of Medjugorje and Garabandal and other events he imagines in the future. For instance, Ronald Conte knows all the 10 secrets of Medjugorje and can divulge in entirety. For the price of this book he will share them with you their dates and what this means for the future of the world and Catholicism. Basically the 1st edition was published in 2007 and had to be rewritten with his failed prediction of a April 2009 onset of these secrets and miracles. With subsequent editions and dates failing in April 2010 and April 2011. So now there is a wonderful 4th edition of this book with dates shunted further forward into the future perhaps 2013 or later. Assuredly with each edition his predictions/stories get massaged and dates get shunted forward, assuring you the most value for your money.

In case you didnt know, Ronald Conte is a promoter of the unapproved apparitions of Medjugorje and Garabandal.
So if you want to know all the 10 Secrets of Medjugorje, the date of the Warning and Miracle of Garabandal, when or not Hillary Clinton will be president, when the Iranians will nuke New York and the Vatican, the year of the onset of WW III, the start of the Tribulation, the year of the 2nd coming of Jesus, Mr. Conte can tell you all this and more with certainty matching this 4th edition of the book. Afterall, thats what your paying for. Look for a 5th edition coming soon to Amazon.

Normally such a book as this with a horrible track record extending into four editions wouldn't make it past the publishers and into print. But alas, we are in the age of self-publishing. This is a self-published author. Beware!

A more recommended and commended book on Catholic Eschatology, the future through the Bible, the Church Fathers, saints and mystics is :
Trial, Tribulation & Triumph: Before, During, and After Antichrist

1.0 out of 5 stars This guy... October 24, 2012

By John

Format:Kindle Edition

As already stated by other reviewers, this man has predicted many things that have not come true... hence the reason there's a fourth edition of this book. He's a total crackpot who can't control himself when he feels the need to "prophesy". Do yourself a favor and use the money you would've used to buy this book to buy a Magic 8 Ball. It's predictions are bound to be more accurate than this man's.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing read,information is completely misguided. October 22, 2012

By Tony White

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Don't no why I purchased this book but I did,and I'm glad I did,because it shows me that there are people out there who do not know what they are talking about when it comes to writing a book on end times prophecy.First and foremost no one and I mean no one knows the future only God himself,but the author here seems to be doing a lot of date setting,which as you know is completely wrong.Secondly in the first few chapters the author mentions the Tribulation Period been a couple hundred years apart from one part of the Tribulation to the next(Read Daniel Chapter 9).Everyone knows that the Tribulation period consists of a seven year period,not my timeframe but the Bibles.He also speaks about the current pope as dying this year(again date setting) and predicts a fourth world war in the years 2040.
Where the Author is getting his information from here is beyond me,but his quotes and predictions are not biblical and they certainly are not true.This book seems to be the authors fourth attempt on the subject of Garabandal and Medugorge,as he says himself in this new book,"I have new information" of course he has.
At the end of the day I was annoyed when reading this,especially when I have studied eschatology for many years now and know what the Bible says,not what's written here.It seems this Author wants to cash in on a subject which is most important to practising Catholics and it annoyed me that the Truth is not written here.
I always say,read it for yourself and then study and get the answers,don't take what this book says as truth,it's not and the author here knows quite well it's not.Thank you for reading my review on the above and if for some reason you do decide to purchase this book,then please don't be deceived by what's written here,go in prayer to The Lord and ask him for guidance on the answers,he won't let you down.Thank You.
