St Bernadette Soubirous by Abbe Francis Trochu is by far the best book on St. Bernadette and Lourdes. It is beautifully illustrated with 69 photographs, including lovely photos of St. Bernadette's incorrupt body (she died in 1879). Paperback, 480 pages. Our Lady told her, "I do not promise to make you happy in this world, but in the next." St. Bernadette Soubirous will steal your heart and be an inspiration for your spiritual growth and journey to sainthood!
