Great Resource for Info on Marian Shrines Worldwide!, 30 Aug 2000
By Megan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shrines of Our Lady: A Guide to over Fifty of the World's Most Famous Marian Shrines (Hardcover)
This book is an EXCELLENT resource which lists all of the major Marian shrines worldwide. It has text which explains the history behind each site, where it is located, times when services are held at the shrine (excellent for planning visitations or pilgrammages...) and has beautiful full color photos of the interior and exterior of each site! It is the next best thing to being at each location. I reccomend this book to all who have a fascination or devotion to Mary.

Our Lady is more understood through Her apparitions, 21 Aug 2000
By Andy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shrines of Our Lady: A Guide to Fifty of the World's Most Famous Marian Shrines (Paperback)
The author did an excellent job at including many famous shrines throughout the world. Includes many pictures that gives the reader a more focused attention. Many sites include the famous Fatima, Lourdes, Garabandal, Guadalupe, Scottsdale Arizona and many more! Recommended for those interested in the many appartitions and the messages of Our Lady to the World. Great Book I recommend to all. I am not a Catholic, but a Lutheran, and I love this sort of stuff. God Bless!

There are no coincidences in life, 25 July 2011
By Gin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shrines of Our Lady: A Guide to Fifty of the World's Most Famous Marian Shrines (Paperback)
I was attracted to this book because I was planning a trip to Mexico city to visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The forward is by Janice T. Connell and I love her books on Medjugorje so I purchased it.
The book did not turn out to be a travel guide as I expected. Instead it has general information on the background of the Apparitions at each of approx 50 sights, many I have never heard of. Good reading, just not what I was looking for.
I still plan to read it all the way through and perhaps it will lead me to visit a shrine I am not yet familiar with.
