The most revealing look yet at the extraordinary Fatima phenomenon.

In 1917, two little children - one nine years old, the other seven - had a series of visions that changed the world. The Blessed Virgin appeared to Francisco and Jacinta Marto and told them how sin was responsible for all the world's troubles. She also told them how devotion to her Immaculate Heart would bring the world back to God.

Since then, millions have made pilgrimages to the site of the apparitions, and even non-Catholics are familiar with the story of Fatima. Yet, surprisingly, there's never before been a full-length book on these two blessed children, who started a worldwide movement.

Leo Madigan has devoted his life to Fatima, and he has access to documents that aren't available to the general public. Here you'll find the story of Francisco and Jacinta and the apparitions they saw, told in a way that brings out the vital importance of Fatima for today.
