Foreword by Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel

This fascinating overview is based on the autor's research and her own visit to Lourdes, as well as interviews with its staff, Bernadette scholars, and current-day pilgrims and volunteers. The Book includes historic and contemporary photos, an eye-witness's sketch of Bernadette in ectasy and rare interview with recipient of one of the original "church-sanctiones" miracles. Instead of passing along the usual myths and misinformation, this book, said the Shrine's administration, finally gets it right.
