New book provides a comprehensive study of stigmatics proving that the supernatural realm exists
LA PLATA, Md., Sept. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Stigmatics, sainted or not, are living proof that a mysterious supernatural realm exists within the secular materialistic world. However, despite this fact, no extensive study of this subject matter had been undertaken for over 140 years. It is for this reason that Deacon Albert E. Graham decided to pen "The Stigmata: Those Who Bore the Wounds of Christ" (published by Trafford Publishing).
This book is a comprehensive study of stigmatics, examining the mystery of the stigmata and Jesus Christ as its prototype. It presents a compilation of some 657 individuals from the 13th to the 21st centuries who have borne one or more of the wounds suffered by Christ. The experiences and testimonials of these selected stigmatists are living proof of that God is alive and present in and to his creatures. The book also addresses fraudulent stigmatics and other miraculous mysteries exhibited by some stigmatics.
"Humankind has drifted away from a belief in the supernatural," Graham states. "Hopefully, it will draw people back to a belief in God."
"The Stigmata: Those Who Bore the Wounds of Christ" will appeal to the general public, be it atheists, agnostics or disciples of the Lord. To purchase a copy of the book, visit https://www.amazon.com/Stigmata-Those-Bore-Wounds-Christ/dp/1698714955/.
