5.0 out of 5 stars Messages from the Virgin, with simplicity and urgency., April 10, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Mary's Message to the World (Mass Market Paperback)

From time to time many of us have had the fantasy that words, used in perfect combination, could somehow change the world. Or perhaps we dreamed that ordinary sentences in todays language could somehow make us willingly change ourselves. Many people would say that such a book has been written, or more exactly, dictated to Annie Kirkwood. In 1987, Annie began to feel the presence, and hear the messages of the Virgin Mary. Annie's disbelief, resistance, and acceptance is a story in itself, but what remains are Mary's messages of great importance to us all. The Kirkwoods, Annie and Byron, have received many letters about this book. Most of the writers relate of what has already been mentioned, lives have been changed, or that this is a most important book for our times. Others have told me that it is like the information of the Bible: concise, easy to read, and every bit as compelling. What I and others are trying to say is that an important book has been written, a book of great power and scope. Contained in the ten chapters are warnings, predictions, Mary's and Joseph's life on earth together, a message to every family and the world, sections on love, ourselves as spirit, prayer, the aftertime, and a message from Jesus. In the world today are many children and adults who are contacted by Mary and pass those messages along to us. The messages contain a consistancy, love, and urgency in what is relayed, and these thoughts continue in "Mary's Messages". Mary calls for a return to God, to prayer, and preparation for changes. Many serious predictions are spoken of and have occured, while other disturbing changes remain. In a recent newsletter mailed by the Kirkwoods, Mary has explained that predictions are given to capture our attention. In some cases, the events recorded in this book (published in 1991) have been pushed back or diminished because of our prayers and favorable actions. She has explained that these are days of grace, that the predictions in the book whose dates have passed have not lapsed, but that we have been given additional time before their occurence, a gift. This is a deeply spiritual book, without the limits of organized religions, ringing truthfully and clearly. Perhaps, as so many have said, this is the book we have been looking for

5.0 out of 5 stars Be open-minded, November 20, 2001

This review is from: Mary's Message to the World (Mass Market Paperback)

Dear potential readers:

A few thoughts.

If you don't like "channeled" material, I wouldn't recommend this book. Like most channelled literature, the average skeptic will beat themselves up over the method of delivery, and barely be able to stomach the message itself.

If you aren't open-minded, this book will most likely result in a headache. Perhaps that is good for some.

My father, who is a staunch Catholic, says that the Bible clearly indicates that "prayer changes prophecy", so please keep an open mind when the prophecies in dispute don't jive with our current timeline.

This book wasn't channeled like Seth, in that the continuity between chapters isn't as smooth. It doesn't read as "booklike". This is in part because certain chapters were included based on an editor's interest. Those readers of the "Michael Material" will understand what I mean.

A very good read. I have had a conversion of heart. I also love correlating this stuff with Emmanual, Micheal, Seth, and even the Bible and so far have found mostly unifying theory.

Good wishes on everyone's inevitable search for God within.

1.0 out of 5 stars Will the real Mary please stand up?, January 25, 2008

This review is from: Mary's Message to the World: As Sent by Mary, the Mother of Jesus, to Her Messenger, Annie Kirkwood (Paperback)

This book claims to contain the messages of Mary, the mother of Jesus, to Annie Kirkwood. It includes some specific predictions that Mary is alleged to have made in the late 1980s. Let's look at a few of them:

1. There will be famines in the countries which have had wars.
2. After the turning of the Earth (whatever that means), there will be two suns.
3. In 1994 New York will be flooded and will have to be evacuated.
4. In 1995 the sea will cover part of California.
5. Before 2000, Japan will fall into the sea and become a frozen wasteland.

The first of these predictions is pretty obvious, because famines are usual features of war-ravaged countries. It's a bit like predicting that someone who goes swimming will get wet.
As for the others - well, they seem to shatter "Mary's" credibility, don't they?

As a comparison, let's look at the 1917 apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, in which Mary predicted that, if her requests for prayer and reparation were not followed, World War I would soon end but would be followed by a worse war - which is exactly what happened.
She also predicted that Russia would spread error throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. This prediction made no sense at the time, but then the Russian Revolution happened, and the Soviet Union, in a campaign of blood and lies, took over the Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria - all of which commenced persecuting the Church.

So which Mary proclaimed the truth?
