Brown recounts four visits to Medjugorje in former Yugoslavia, where he witnessed solar phenomena and experienced profound spiritual encounters. He describes apparitions reported across the former Soviet Union in remote peasant villages, all occurring on the first anniversary of Chernobyl. Brown connects rising societal violence, natural disasters concentrated in California, and the mysterious hitchhiker phenomenon across America to what he calls a major supernatural episode unfolding worldwide. He warns of conditional prophecies involving secrets given to visionaries that point toward unprecedented regional events.
A compelling account from a Pulitzer-nominated journalist who traded investigating earthly corruption for documenting what he believes is an escalating spiritual war between good and evil.
