by James L. Carney
A comprehensive account of what occurred on the outskirts of our nation's capital in 1991-1993 and what may be the most extensive display of weeping statues and accompanying physical phenomena in the Catholic Church. The phenomena included hundreds of statues, crucifixes and even glass images which wept tears and blood before thousands of astonished witnesses. Father James Bruse, a humble parish priest, received stigmata wounds replicating the five crucifixion wounds of Christ. This third edition is doubled in size from previous editions and presents other famous statue weeping episodes, a detailed rebuttal to skeptical challengers, and offers a thoughtful and persuasive analysis as to what it might all mean for the human race in these troubled times. Included are 14 beautiful, full-color photos, mostly "8x10," of weeping Madonnas and Father Bruse's stigmata wounds.

by Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton and Regina Bechtle, editor

Elizabeth Seton opens her life and soul to the most intensive scrutiny and reveals a metamorphasis to true sanctity. These letters, written with no intention for public evaluation, show how a woman in the early 19th century grows from a rich lady of society to a destitute widow in a foriegn land to a truly great American icon. Elizabeth Seton is a true human with fellings, hurts, dispair, disappointments, and severe trial we can all wish we never face, and she faces it with blind faith and trust. This is a must for anyone who feels they have been abandoned by God and has no where to turn.
