I had conflicting feelings when I began reading the book. The beginning of the book has a weak storyline, but by the second chapter I was more comfortable with reading the book and continued on reading it.

The main character, Anna, gets a message from God to travel to Chicago and she heads off to Chicago. She delivers a message to a Chicago Priest that God gave her in regards to the state of the World. Another part of the story is set in Las Vegas, where 4 woman where they witness a Snowfall in the midst of 100 degree temps. The stories told in the book are all leading up God's revelation of miracles and God plans for ManKind. I did like that there were ever changing stories and that it flowed well. Though it is a Fiction Book, it read almost like real life!

I found the book has a lean towards Catholic theology, which I am not familiar with, so that is what made this book a bit difficult to read. I think that having to really focus and dig deep, made this book a good read. I did like that there were ever changing stories and that it flowed well. Good Book!

In our first book in the Gospa series, Jewel of the Adriatic, on April 7^th, 1992, rose petals rained on three teenagers walking past a craggy hill in their village, Valselo, near the Adriatic coast. The deluge stopped, and high on this hill, they saw a remarkably beautiful young woman with a child in her arms. They immediately thought that she was Jesus’ mother. She didn’t say anything to them but gestured for them to come closer. They were scared and ran. These three children were Anna, Elizabeta and Josip, who despite their fear, returned to the hill and were rewarded with another visitation by the mother of God, lovingly referred to as Our Lady of the Roses. Daily apparitions continued for decades as the visionaries became adults, guided by the heavenly visitor to pray, open their hearts fully to the salvation of Christ and carry her messages to the world in discipleship. Josip became a priest, instructed to pray for vocations. Elizabeta became a wife and mother, dedicated to praying for unbelievers. And Anna, also a wife and mother, was given the role of divulging secrets concerning all of mankind to an ordained priest, three days before the predicted events occur. In Rose of the Desert, we meet the “Belles of St. Mary’s”, lifelong girlfriends who have shared everything with each other since they met in grammar school. Or have they? When experiencing the all-knowing, forgiveness of God’s presence, will they change so they never have anything to hide again? The Belles’ lives intersect with Anna Babic’s when Anna travels to the United States to fulfill her heavenly appointed mission. Now the time has come.
