A lasting record of eyewitness testimonials

I have read about many different Marian apparitions, but none has struck me as profoundly as Garabandal. I think the reason is the incredible importance of the predicitions made there, many of which should come to pass very soon. It is amazing that three of the four visionaries are now living in the U.S., with Conchita living quietly in the New York area where she patiently awaits the day when she will shock the world by announcing the impending Warning and Miracle (which must happen soon). This book starts off with a few chapters that give general information about the events of Garabandal, and then leads into the testimonials of the villagers. Each villager has a chapter in which they respond to a similar set of questions about the events. Apparently, the official commission which was established by the local bishop did not interview very many of the villagers, as strange as that seems, so this book is a very important piece of the historical record. As I read the anecdotes presented by the villagers, I began to realize that these people were more blessed than they probably even realize. Most of the people interviewed for the book saw ecstacies many many times (hundreds in some cases), and were surrounded by grace on a daily basis. The testimonials of Jose "Pepe" Diez and Simon Gonzalez (Jacinta's father), are especially thorough and very informative to read. In addition to this book, I would also recommend that people visit garabandal.us which is the official site of the New York Center, and Joey Lomangino. A lot of good information is available there for free.

Invaluable Resource on Garabandal

Because the ecclesiastical Commission assigned by the local Bishop to investigate Garabandal did such a lousy job (and could have cared less), the majority of information on these stupendous events comes from the testimonies of the villagers who lived thru the events every day for five years, and the tens of thousands of pilgrims (lay & clerical)who went there to witness the events for themselves. This book is packed with first person accounts from the villagers of Garabandal who were family, friends, and/or neighbors of the four visionaries. No one can tell the story better than these humble people. A fantastic contribution to the literature on Garabandal.
