The story of the appearances of Our Lady to Juan Diego.
Paperback, 32 pages, full colour illustrations
by Warren H. Carroll
With gripping detail and firsthand accounts that read like a novel, renowned author Warren Carroll unveils the events that led up to the divine intervention in which Our Lady of Guadalupe was sent to an Aztec, known now as St. Juan Diego. Here is the untold story of the faith and valor of the Spanish as they encounter an early Aztec culture marked by an immorality and an idolatry of epic proportions, along with the hardships they endured in the face of unspeakable cruelty.
You will see the hard reality of Aztec culture — the homage that terrorized souls would pay to the satanic rulers who oppressed them and the widespread practice of human sacrifice in worship of chilling gods with diabolical titles. All this is juxtaposed against a Catholic culture propagated by the indomitable Queen Isabel of Spain.
In these gripping pages, you will discover:
- Leaders such as Hernan Cortes, in his own words, and what inspired him to never sound retreat
- A little-known but influential woman named Lady Marina
- Whether it was just for the Spanish to reclaim Mexico
- Astonishing conversions and the multitudinous Baptisms that occurred
- How the Spanish would charge the Aztec warriors despite the 10,000-to-1 odds against them!
- Medical evidence of Our Lady of Guadalupe’s world-changing apparition
The exacting researcher Carroll recounts the astonishing speed with which the Spanish overtook the Aztec empire, one of the greatest conquests in history. You will learn about infamous defeats, including the Night of Sorrow, and apocalyptic-like battles between the ferocious warriors that resulted in the foundation of the Church in Mexico. You will behold brilliant tactical maneuvers, diplomacy at its best, and, most significantly, how Mary helped secure the victory of life over a dark culture of death.
This book is ultimately a testament to God’s immeasurable power and mercy, which we are invited to experience even now.

The Miraculous Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Shroud of Turin
by Thomas Sennott
This is the only book of its kind on the two most famous and controversial images in existence-the holy image of Our Lady of Guadalupe on the tilma of Juan Diego, and the sacred image of the crucified Christ on the holy Shroud of Turin. Written by a scientist-religious, it is a good rebuttal of those who would say either of these images is a fraud. Besides introducing the reader to the story behind these miraculous images of Jesus and Mary, it is an excellent resource book bringing the reader up to date with the latest findings from experts in the field of sindonology. The fraudulent carbon-fourteen test of 1998, which has been rejected by the prestigious scientific journal, Science Today, is answered by hard factual evidence to the contrary. Illustrated with many photos.
