Loreto and the Holy House
This history of the Holy House of Loreto is the most decisive work in English defending the authenticity of this most hallowed shrine in all Christendom. Our Lady's Holy House at Nazareth was taken by angels to Dalmatia (Croatia) in 1291 to prevent its desecration by the infidels. Three years later it took flight again to rest in Loreto, Italy, where it remains. Rev. Phillips provides the facts, and excitement behind the story. Many cures, apparitions, and miraculous conversions, have happened within the limestone walls of the Santa Casa.

Struggled to read this short book on The House of the Virgin Mary. Lots of repetitive information which made my enjoyment wane. Did learn some small things but not enough to say “hey, this was a great book and I need to recommend to my Goodread friends”. 😕

The history was good. Old school shots fired style of historical writing. It is a great example of historical debate on paper. However unless you are really into Our Lady of Loreto or Catholic history I wouldn't recommend this book. Most of this is an attempt to defend the story of the Loreto house from skeptics.

Rather heavy on the attempt to scientifically/historically convince the reader of the validity of the miracle. While, that was impressive and great to learn, I had been hoping for a book that just taught more about the miracle as well as further miracles that have taken place regarding the Holy House.

Great beginning, really boring middle and okay end.
