We've just passed the centenary of the Fatima apparitions, so I wanted to learn more about them. This book makes an excellent one stop shop about the apparitions. Everything you could possibly want to know about them is in here. Fr. Apostoli relates the content of what the three children saw, the historical context in which they happened, biographical information about the children and their families, and about the history of their town and of Portugal, how the Fatima apparitions were determined to be reliable, how they meshed with other preceding and contemporaneous apparitions given to other visionaries, the Church's interpretation of the visions, how successfully the Church has followed the instructions of our Lady, and how the predictions came to pass. There is also practical information in the book about how to do the devotions properly, as well as the prayers taught to the three children.
