First sentence: In the second decade of the 20th century, in 1917, the Mother of God appeared to three young children in central Portugal, in the parish of the village of Fatima, north of Lisbon.
Description: Father Fox had just had published his in depth book on the theology of Fatima, Fatima Today (see p. 22), when Our Sunday Visitor book department requested another Fatima book from this author. OSV said, “We are convinced you have another Fatima book in you.” They proved right. This easy--to-read book has been a best seller for more than 10 years. 

Looking for a new approach, the priest drew on his interviews since 1974 with surviving and living witnesses to the Fatima events in 1917 when Our Lady appeared. The author delves into the mysteries of this modern miracle. 

What was Our Lady’s message? What is the “secret” of Fatima? There is a special chapter devoted to “The Fourth Seer of Fatima” who is little known. Pilgrims to the Cova da Iria in the Third Millennium will find the first monument to this “Fourth Seer” in the Cova, together with a segment of the Berlin Wall. “Time Capsule of our Future” will entice you and bring Fatima alive in your heart.

The next best thing to an actual pilgrimage! In 1917, two small children in a remote village in Portugal had a series of visions of the Blessed Virgin. Our Lady told them how sin was responsible for all the world's troubles and explained how devotion to her Immaculate Heart would restore union with God. But apart from these visits from heaven, their lives were commonplace. They were born, lived, and died as peasant children. 

Yet today they are known and revered throughout the world. Now for the first time the complete story of Blessed Francisco and Jacinta Marto has been revealed in a full-length book by Leo Madigan. Marked by poignant, intimate details, and a captivating writing style, this moving biography of two extraordinary children is sure to become an instant classic
