By Monica de Souza Lopes

Prepare for an extraordinary journey that transcends time and borders! "Our Lady of Fatima for Young People: Book One" is the inaugural volume in the captivating series "Our Lady's Stories for Young People," inviting teenagers aged 13 to 16 to delve into the real and inspiring accounts of Our Lady's apparitions. This first book focuses on the profound and world-changing events of Fatima, Portugal.

More than just a narrative, this book is designed to guide you in a very special way, like a Rosary. Each of the twenty stories corresponds to one of the "mysteries" of the Rosary - Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious - inviting you to pause, reflect, and truly experience what Lia, Jacinta, and Francisco experienced. It's like each chapter is a "bead" on the Rosary, connecting you more deeply with their journey of faith, courage, and discovery.

Based on authentic reports and historical documents, this series explores the depths of the human and spiritual experience of these young shepherds who witnessed the presence of the Mother of Heaven. You'll discover their doubts, fears, joys, and the immense courage they displayed when facing a skeptical and, at times, hostile world.

What you will discover in this inspiring journey:

The Authentic Voice of Mary: Experience the original messages and direct words of Our Lady, the Angel, and the visionaries, faithfully preserved so that the truth may resonate in your heart.

Universal Dilemmas: See how the challenges faced by Lia, Jacinta, and Francisco - from peer pressure and the search for authenticity to defending their convictions and dealing with injustice - mirror your own experiences in today's world.

Connections Through Time: Understand how the timeless messages of Mary, given through these young seers, offer a powerful guide for life, emphasizing prayer, sacrifice, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Inspiration for Life: Each story is an invitation to reflect on values such as faith, sacrifice, love, forgiveness, and the importance of a purposeful life, showing how truth can be the greatest challenge and the greatest reward.

Note on Sources and Authorization: What sets this book apart is its unwavering commitment to historical and spiritual accuracy. It has been carefully prepared to present the story of the F嫢ima apparitions to young readers, based on the revered "Memoirs of Sister Lia." To ensure fidelity and transparency, the direct quotes from Our Lady, the Angel, and the children (Lia, Jacinta, and Francisco) are reproduced with the kind permission of the Francisco and Jacinta Marto Foundation, Fatima, Portugal. The specific source for each excerpt is duly indicated at the end of each story, providing a reliable and trustworthy account.
