Voyage to Lourdes

Alexis Carrel (1873-1944) is possibly the only Nobel-Prize winner (medicine, 1912) who witnessed a miraculous cure. Its beneficiary was a young woman, Marie Bailly, on the verge of dying of tubercular peritonitis. Her sudden cure took place in Lourdes on May 28, 1902, under Carrel's scientific as well as skeptical eyes. In this book Carrel describes what he saw and what he thought as one who had by then come to the conclusion that there was no need for belief in God and Revelation. The gift of faith came to Carrel only after many years following his gripping experience in LourdesIn the vast literature on miracles, Carrel's searching analysis of an astounding physical cure and of himself as its privileged witness makes The Voyage to Lourdes a unique document.Carrel, Alexis is the author of 'Voyage to Lourdes', published 1994 under ISBN 9780964115026 and ISBN 0964115026.
