Medjugorje Revisited focuses on the transcripts of the original tapes of the visionaries made in June 1981, and the credibility of the visions and the visionaries. It also examines the role of theologians, and the Hercegovina Franciscans, in promoting Medjugorje, and its tangled historical and religious background. In sum, it examines all the relevant evidence about Medjugorje, and concludes that, despite some "good fruits," it bears all the hallmarks of a vast religious fraud.
"Donal Foley has done lovers of accuracy a favor and provided believers in Christ and children of the Blessed Virgin Mary a signal service with this book." - Mark P. Shea, author, Mary, Mother of the Son
"Donal Foley is very well equipped for this task of informing readers about the events at Medjugorje in a balanced way, and from a Catholic point of view." - Prof Dr Manfred Hauke, Theological Faculty of Lugano, Switzerland
|
"Medjugorje Revisited is a sober, balanced, and unremittingly charitable examination of the most popular unapproved private revelation in Church history." - Patrick Coffin, Author & Radio Host, Catholic Answers Live
"Medjugorje Revisited is a thorough and careful examination of the alleged apparitions in the former Yugoslavia, placed in their historical context, which deserves to be widely studied." - Fr Thomas Crean, OP, author, A Catholic Replies to Professor Dawkins
Donal Anthony Foley has degrees in Humanities (BA) and Theology (BD), and his book on the subject of apparitions - Marian Apparitions, the Bible, and the Modern World - was published by Gracewing in 2002, and he has written articles for a number of Catholic magazines and newspapers.

International Medjugorje Commission
Please remember to include the deliberations of the International Medjugorje Commission in your prayers.
This was set up last year, under Cardinal Ruini, and we must hope that the Commission comes to a definite conclusion which can then be ratified by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Holy Father.
Perhaps you could include this intention in your rosary – certainly, it is important that everything is done to ensure that the message of Fatima is not obscured any more, and that the truth about Medjugorje will come out so that everyone can see the problems associated with it.

This book looks at the life of Marthe Robin, the French mystic, who, with Fr Georges Finet, co-founded the Foyer of Charity community at Châteauneuf-de-Galaure in southeastern France in 1936. There are now 75 Foyer communities throughout the world, and their work involves a priest, the Father of the Foyer, giving 5 day retreats in silence, during which the members of the community look after the needs of the retreatants and pray for them.
 Theotokos Books has also published a book entitled, Christian Living: The Spirituality of the Foyers of Charity, by Donal Anthony Foley
It contains essential information about Marthe Robin and the Foyers of Charity, as well as chapters based on retreats given by Fr Michel Tierny, the Father of the Foyer of Charity at Courset, in France. These cover topics such as discipleship, prayer, silence, the sacraments, and more.
With a foreword by the renowned Newman scholar, Fr Ian Ker, this is an excellent new guide to living a better Christian life.
