It's no secret that we are living in tumultuous times. As a lay Catholic, you may feel like you're living out the book of Revelation, but are we actually in the End Times? Is there any information out there, besides the Bible and writings of the saints, to help us prepare for what lies ahead?In The Coming Era of Peace: Marian Apparitions Predicting Our Times, Dr. David Smithson examines Church-approved Marian apparitions that contain messages for the days we are living in.
