"Revel in this definitive and comprehensive work...which takes us through the history and mystery of the first and only approved Marian apparition in the United States."

Michael O'Neil, author and host of The Miracle Hunter on EWTN

“The Blessed Virgin Mary’s appearance to Sr. Adele Brice is becoming an increasingly well-known and loved story here in the United States. Theoni Bell's new book adds exciting insights to the life of Sr. Adele. It is also the first time a book has explained the long apparition approval process that was undertaken here in Champion. After years of research, Theoni now tells a much fuller story of Sr. Adele’s faith and perseverance to carry out the mission given to her by the Queen of Heaven. This book is sure to inspire readers to go deeper in their faith and follow Our Lady's call.”

Rev. Tony Stephens, CPM, the Rector of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion

"In these modern times, our children need real heroes to admire, learn from, and emulate. In Our Lady of Champion: The Amazing Investigation of a Visitor from Heaven, Theoni Bell has highlighted a true American hero, Adele Brice, seer of Our Lady of Champion. A thorough and thoughtful book about the only Church-approved Marian apparition in America."

Marge Steinhage Fenelon, award-winning author, international speaker, certified Catholic life coach, and author of America's Mary: The Story of Our Lady of Good Help (Our Lady of Champion)

"Theoni Bell captures the forgotten history of the Wisconsin apparition, teaching the next generation about this important spiritual event which still inspires today!”

Fr. Edward Looney, STL, Author of How They Love Mary: 28 Life Changing Stories of Devotion to Our Lady

"Mary's message at Champion is striking in its simplicity—and astonishing in its relevance. In this captivating investigation, Theoni Bell explores the only Church-approved Marian apparition in the United States, tracing the rigorous process by which the Church discerns authentic encounters with heaven. Far more than a historical mystery, Our Lady of Champion reveals how Mary's call to prayer, catechesis, and trust in God speaks powerfully to the challenges facing America today. An inspiring blend of history, faith, and careful investigation, this book reminds readers that heaven has not stopped speaking—and that hope remains within reach."

Colleen Hutt, Director of Literary Evangelization for Well-Read Mom and fellow Our Lady of Champion pilgrim

"Theoni's book is way more than just a factual history. It includes photos, newspaper clippings, and vivid descriptions of the lives of visionary Adele Brice and other Belgian Catholic immigrant families to Wisconsin. I plan to use this little gem to enrich our homeschool curriculum this year!"
