Weible decided to write an article about them for his four weekly newspapers. It was while viewing a video tape of the apparitions as research for the article that Weible, a Protestant at that time, states, "I suddenly felt a strong message within my heart that not only was I to write about these events, but I was to devote my life to the spreading of its basic message of reconciliation with God.

Not being a terribly religious person when I read this book, I was almost embarassed to buy it but I'm glad I did. It truly got me to thinking about what is possible in this world and if I believe in Mary, why not be open to the possibility that she is still here with us, warning us to be faithful as she did at Fatima? A very objective book, about the author's travels to Medjugorje, Yugoslavia prior to the Bosnian war. It'll definitely make you think.

This review is from: Medjugorje The Message (Christian Classics) (English and English Edition) (Paperback)

Hello all and Christ is Risen!

I wanted to write this review and say that this book is profoundly beautiful. Read it and get to know God's heart through Mary His Mother, the Blessed Virgin. I kid you not, this book WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE, because God speaks through Wayne's words directly to your heart. From my perspective, a Jewish convert to Catholicism, this book helped me and made me believe fully and trust in Jesus Christ GOD! Please don't judge the idea of a 2,000 year old Lady, the mother of a historical figure, Jesus Christ, (who you will come to know as God), frighten you or dissuade you from reading this beautiful book. Read it, read it, read it.

Christ is Risen!

This review is from: Medjugorje The Message (Christian Classics) (English and English Edition) (Paperback)

I was given a copy of this book as a gift by a friend who has made seven pilgrimages to Medjugorje, and whose own life has been transformed by the experience.

I was initially rather skeptical, but after reading this extraordinary account, I have now bought copies for other people as well.

Almost exactly 25 years ago, six children reported that the Virgin Mary had appeared to them on a hillside in Bosnia-Herzegovina. She has allegedly been returning every day since then, making comments about the world, and advising us on actions that we need to take.

The story is inspirational, and was recently given more credence by a scientific report indicating that there really is something going on here which appears inexplicable according to the currently accepted scientific model.

The Vatican has not yet elevated Medjugorje to the level of a "miracle," but the fact is that the events in this village have transformed the lives of people all over the world.

I highly recommend this book to all spiritual seekers.
