A Humbling Experience
|
|
I read this book, knowing a little about the Lourdes Visions, but now I know so much more. The author has gone so in depth and created such a vivid picture of how it all happened and the type of person Bernadette was and also her family. I felt very humbled after reading this book at the poverty and suffering this poor young girl went through without giving up on her faith. A wonderful experience that has left a mark on me

i read this book after seeing the film, and i must admit the book was quite good maybe even better than the film!!! a good story line about bernadette and her poor family, then the story goes more in depth as bernadetts visions of the lady increase, in the end the town is divided !!! some believe her and others are more wary.... after all the visions end bernadette is told by the village priest she must go into a convent " i told you at the beginning that you was playing with fire bernadette!!!!,he said.........the last chapters about her life in the convent was quite sad, she was very ill and had a hard time off the old cruel reverand mother, bernadette died very young and the ending is sad, but the story lives on today as strong as the day bernadette first told of her first vision........................
