Description
Did Jesus appear in an Alabama hospital room?
Was the Virgin Mary sighted by thousands of believers in a New Jersey suburb?
Has Christ's likeness appeared on the wall of a New Mexico high school?
Did a painted crucifix shut and reopen its eyes in a church near Pittsburgh?
Does a holy icon weep tears of myrrh in a Texas monastery?
Believers have reported these and other miraculous events at locations all across America, and this one-of-a-kind book is the first and only visitor's guide to these fascinating "way stations to heaven"!
Join journalist Sandra Gurvis as she investigates fifty places where visions, sightings, and other sacred phenomena are said to have occurred. At each site, you'll learn what reportedly happened - or, in many cases, is still happening - what the faithful (and some doubters) say about it, how to get there, and what to expect if you visit. In interviews, people who witnessed the event tell what they experienced and what it has meant to their lives and their beliefs.
In these pages you'll take a unique journey into the world of the mystical, the spiritual - and the unexplained. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, you'll find Way Stations to Heaven an extraordinary testament to the power of faith.
