\"\"<\/a>\u201cThe Madonna Files, by Stephen Ryan, deftly interlaces the lives of men and women across the globe into a tale of love, redemption, Marian devotion, and God\u2019s grace.<\/b>With an air of National Treasure, or Pier Paul Reads\u2019 novel, Death of a Pope, the reader plunges into political controversy, chase scenes, a coded message, and an exposition on Marian apparitions.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe story follows the Catholic priest, Fr. Dan Baronowski, as he searches for the \u201cMadonna Files,\u201d secret letters of Pope John Paul II which contain the Third Secret of Fatima.<\/p>\n

The discussion of the Blessed Virgin Mary forms the heart of this novel, and I found it interesting how the characters discuss the continuity of Mary\u2019s appearances throughout history.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed reading about how the characters saw Mary\u2019s constant presence in the modern world, a reality which many people can easily forget.\u201d \u2026 \u201cThe Madonna Files <\/em>is an entertaining book, which provides an interesting introduction to Marian apparitions.<\/p>\n

In a style akin to that of Bud McFarlane\u2019s Pierced by the Sword,<\/em> this novel connects all of mankind with the reality that divine grace is at work every day<\/strong>\u2026Perhaps the most interesting facet of this discussion comes by way of the story\u2019s discussion of Medjugorje<\/strong>.<\/span> As different characters grapple with, and reason through, the visionaries\u2019 words from Medjugorje, the reader is given a good foundation for the arguments for the authenticity of the Medjugorje apparitions<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

This book could be very helpful for readers who do not know much about Medjugorje.\u201d Catholic Fiction.net \u2013 Anne Marie Hauge\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cRyan weaves together a mesmerizing narrative as he welcomes his readers into a world filled with intrigue and suspense in\u00a0The Madonna Fi<\/em>les\u2026.My novel is my conversion story. Through a religious thriller I am trying to show people how I found my faith without hitting people over the head with it. I combine my interests in my book, which is about sailing, apparitions, Russia, Fatima and the simple loving message of Medjugorje.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
