November, 1957
NEW MARIAN PAPERBACKS Two well-known Marian books by non-Catholics have recently been released in paperback editions . The late Ruth Cranston's The Miracle of Lourdes (Popular Library, 35¢) is highly recommended as a worthwhile examination of the cures at Lourdes. The original edition (1955) ·eceived the Christopher Award and the Marian Library Medal. Scholem Asch's best-selling novel, Mary, (Popular Library, 35¢) first published in 1949, is a combination of truth mixed with error on page after page. The recently deceased author shows a considerable reverence for Our lady, but the book is not recommended precisely beca .1se, up to a point, it is good. The presence of so much truth can easily mi lead the reader into accepting the error also. Seven other popular Marian paperbacks are now or the market: Guadalupe to Lourdes, by Franc~ Parkinson Keyes (Catechetic<JI Guild, 50¢); The Song of Bernadette, by Fra~z Werfel (Pocket Books, 35¢ 1; Light on the Mountain by John S. Kennedy (Image Books, 65c); The World's First Love, by Fulton J . Sheen (Image Books, 75¢); The True Story of Fatima, by John deMarchi (Catechetical Guild, 50¢); Russia Will Be Converted, oy John M. Haffert (Ave Maria Institute, $1 .00); Our Lady of Fatima, by William Thomas Walsh (Image Books, 65¢).
