Ten Secrets: The Hidden Prophecies of Medjugorje and the Path to Peace - Thomas W. Petrisko

In a stealthy, bucolic hamlet called Bijakovici, located in the Alps of the former Yugoslavia, the Virgin Mary appeared in 1981 to six children. Known throughout the world today as Medjugorje, a prophetic appeal to mankind is heard, with the visionaries claiming the Madonna had come to help the world find peace before it was too late. More than sixty million people have trekked to Medjugorje over the past forty-two years, as healings, miracles and wondrous signs are said to be daily events there.

Meticulously researched, Ten Secrets marshals' scholarly literature from hundreds of sources, the author's personal experiences with eminent theologians and Church officials, and exclusive interviews with key individuals involved in this drama, in order to present a ground-breaking investigation into a subject that may soon attract the eyes of the world. From a highly detailed glimpse into the wondrous Great Sign foretold to miraculously appear in Medjugorje, to exclusive interviews with Jacov Colo, one of the visionaries, and Fr. Petar Ljubicic, the humble Franciscan priest who is to announce the Ten Secrets to the world, this book is a page-turner from beginning to end. Ten Secrets is a prescient work.
