Annie Kirkwood (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 1995

After the best-selling "Mary's Message to the World" was published (1991), Mother Mary urged Annie to begin a bi-monthly Newsletter to keep in touch with all Her readers. This book, "Mary's Message of Hope, Volume 1," is the compilation of the continuing messages Mary has given since April 1992 through October 1996. "'Mary's Message of Hope' is a marvelous book that is certain to touch the hearts and minds of all those who are open to its loving energy. Regardless of one's color, creed, or country, the words of Mother Mary speak directly to the soul." -- Brad Steiger, author, "Revelation: The Divine Fire" "As I read this book, I receive the calm assurance and the personal support that I've come to expect from the Divine Mother. Mary's inspiring, yet practical, messages touch my heart and my mind and wrap themselves around me in tenderness. Thank you, Annie, for being a much-needed messenger to those who seek spiritual understanding and growth in this lifetime." -- Jean K. Foster, author, "The God-Mind Connection" "Dear children, pray without ceasing. Do this always, sending thoughts of love and hope to all people of the world. Think of those who have lost hope and do not feel love." -- Mary, Mother of Jesus

5.0 out of 5 stars Mary Speaks Beautifully, July 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mary's Message of Hope: As Sent by Mary, the Mother of Jesus, to Her Messenger, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

Mary's Message of Hope is the second in a series of books compiled by Annie Kirkwood (Mary's Message to the World, Mary's Message of Hope, Messages to our Family, Mary's Message of Love). I say 'compiled' because Annie would tell you that Mary, Mother of Jesus, is the true author.

I have read the first three books above totaling nearly 1000 pages. In addition I have contemplated the messages of these works in relation to the Western philosophical and theological tradition. (Currently, I am a Ph.d. candidate in philosophy, with knowledge of metaphysics, medieval philosophy and theology, and ethics).

Having said this, let me say that I am very impressed by the message and its implied philosophical views about reality. The discussions of God, the nature of the soul, reincarnation, etc. are all very good and should interest any reader who yearns for more understanding about life and his or her destiny. Mary's Message of Hope is the smallest of the first three books (120 pages), and for this reason I recommend it for beginners because despite its small size it carries a profound message.

Of course, some of the material is controversial; or, rather, I should say non-traditional/non-orthodox. Apparently the previous reviewer has given the book a bad review solely for this reason. He/she seems to have missed the beautiful message about love and forgiveness and about God's everlasting gifts to us. Perhaps the reviewer should have paid more careful attention to page 34:

"Too much emphasis is placed on who is right and which religion is the correct. Religion is simply a way for you to understand the Glory of God. It is a method to bring you into the right frame of mind to worship He Who created it All, Who is All, and Who animates and loves without any biases."

It comes down to this: If you have a desire to know more, if you are seeking the truth, the message of Mary's Message of Hope is to turn to God in prayer and meditation. But reading the books will also provide you with some valuable information--and if that's what interests you, you will not regret purchasing these books. After reading them, praying about them, and intellectually contemplating them you will be in a good position to judge for yourself whether or not they are inauthentic or, rather, precious new Scripture.

Of all the "new age" books out there these books have impressed me the most. You should also check out the works of Paramahansa Yogananda and Edgar Cayce, who have very similar messages.

Remember, each person's journey back to God can only be made by that person. Are you going to blindly listen to Church leaders and authorities all of your life--like a child? Or are you going to seek God yourself and be nourished by His wisdom? The choice ultimately is yours alone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible..., December 14, 2001

By 

"tizocla" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mary's Message of Hope: As Sent by Mary, the Mother of Jesus, to Her Messenger, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

This woman is in need of a prayer for deliverance. She claims to be visited by Mary, the Mother of Jesus, yet her heretical views prove otherwise. Numerous "predictions" never came true, she claimed that Mary told her that Church is not necessary,although Christ established one (Matt16:18) and died for the Church/Kingdom. This Anne lady is nothing more than a delusional person that attempts to confuse the people by promoting her own agenda. No Church, teaching reincarnation, Mary stating she had other kids even though she (Mary) had told the kids in Fatima she did NOT, claiming that whatever religion one belongs to is not important, thus nullifying Christ's purpose, and then going as far as calling the Holy Spirit, the "Brotherhood"....huh??
Lady, you are not being visited by Mary...you are being visited by Satan.
Yahweh help you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mary Who?, February 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mary's Message of Hope: As Sent by Mary, the Mother of Jesus, to Her Messenger, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

Although the Mary of this book is supposedly the Mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Saviour of the world, this Mary rarely mentions His name. Instead, she focuses on the god within you (supposedly God the Father) and tells you to pray to him alone. Ask yourself: Wouldn't the real Mary direct you to Jesus Christ?
