The Healing Touch of Mary: Real Life Stories from Those Touched by Mary

Compiled, organized and edited by photojournalist Cheri Lomonte "The Healing Touch Of Mary" is a compendium of more than sixty personal accounts by men and women from around the world revealing the Blessed Virgin Mary's compassionate, loving, faith-nurturing divinity for all of humanity. Enhanced with full-color photographs of the Madonna drawn from Nicaragua, Peru, Italy, France, and the United States, "The Healing Touch Of Mary" offers dramatic, heartwarming stories of Her miraculous, modern-day appearances to Christians in need. These inspirational stories range from a girl who shared her glow-in-the-dark statue of Mary with a frightened friend, to a woman in a car wreck to whom the Blessed Mother appeared, to a child whose broken fingers were healed by Lourdes water, and so many, many more real-life examples of the Madonna's intervention into the lives of those who needed her most. "The Healing Touch Of Mary" is highly recommended reading for Christians of all creeds and denominations, but most especially for members of the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Catholic communities.

Cheri Lamonte's The Healing Touch of Mary is an inspirational and deeply spiritual book, which brings the reader into direct contact with hundreds of anecdotes and personal experiences of the maternal role of Mary in the life of all believers. Our society needs books that motivate us to believe and conquer the pessimism brought on by faithless doubt. I find it to be a great contribution to the world of inspirational books."

I've read and taken a cursory look at many titles on this subject and none compare to Lomonte's Healing Touch of Mary. Her photography of the images and skill in relating the stories she's collected are the work of a true artist. It's easy to become absorbed in these tales of miracles and faith. If you're not a believer buying this book won't make a difference in your life. However,if your faith is strong these stories and images will reinforce your belief that Mary has and does touch our lives. Well done!

This book was truly inspiring to me and it was given to me at a time that I was unsure of my faith. I am truly greatful to Cheri Lomonte for putting together such a collection of stories, as well as giving me the book. I definately recomend it to those who are struggling on their journey of faith because it reminds you that He is always there if you just search.

This book left me with an emotional drain and a renewed spirit of faith. Mary has long been my inspiration, support, and guide and reading this book has left me with a stronger sense of belief in Mother Mary. The book appeals to all denominations and confirms that we do not walk this earth alone. I will share it with friends and family to reconnect and reflect on our lives. This is a true "gem" and will, hopefully, help to inspire and motivate the faith within us all.
