Summary: A "must" for students of mystic phenomena & metaphysics.
Review: Apparitions explains mystic phenomena, from auras and levitation to ecstasy and regenerative processes. This is the only general mystical title to carry the Catholic Church's official certification of freedom from error and will appeal to Catholic holdings as an unusual, important coverage.

Summary: A thorough, well documented and readable collection.
Review: This book is a very readable collection of authentic mystic events and phenomena. The emphasis is on people and events that are well documented and the likelihood of fraud is low. There are also chapters on the demonic and on outright frauds. Many of the chapters stand on their own so you can read what you want in any order you want. The weakest part of the book is in some of the footnotes which can be a bit opinionated, though most of them were quite interesting. Naturalists (materialists) would find this book challenging to their beliefs while I found much that bolstered my faith.

Summary: Read this book -- learn something!
Review: This is a great book ... a believable book...about some of the greatest mysteries in the world. Has Mary appeared with warnings for the world? What about the Stigmata -- is it really the wounds of Christ or simply psychosis? Kevin Orlin Johnson is an outstanding author -- anyone would enjoy his books. Not only are they fun to read...but you also actually learn something! He's given me a new appreciation for how the Church can stand up to an intellectually rigorous process. Tired of Christian pablum? Give this book a try!
