Medjugorje: The Message

This book about Medjugorje was really co-written by Wayne Weibel and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace, who has appeared in Medjugorje now for almost 30 years. So, to review a book like this is somewhat different than any other review someone attempts. The girl that first sent this book to me prayed that I would be led by the Holy Spirit in reading the material, and I really did have that experience. What else can I say other than, like most other people who have seriously considered this book, it has totally changed my life forever. Like the 6 visionaries who have lived with the Virgin Mary's guiding influence in their lives since July 24, 1981, I have lived a new and enlightened life since I first read this book at Christmas, 1992. If you are open-minded at all, you will never be the same. You will not really read this book but will experience it, in one way or another. Whether or not you like Wayne Weibel's writing style will not really matter very much. You will be entering into a whole new world, with experiences only you will be able to put a value on.

Interesting and inspiring.

This book is so enlightening! Actually made a trip to Medjugorje after reading it!

I was a nominal Catholic at best in 1994 when I happened to read this book one weekend when the family went out of town to visit relatives. I was not much of a reader at the time, but I oculd not put it down. I can say that it completely changed my life then and up to the present. It had a major impact on other family members and many others I know. Medjugorje itself was personally promoted by Pope John Paul II to many he came in contact with, including Mother Teresa, many Cardinals, Bishops, and Priests. Because of its world-wide significance, in an unprecedented manner the Vatican has taken authority over it and is expected to make some type of pronouncement over it in 2013 or soon thereafter. In my opinion, there is no better place in the world to make a pilgrimage or to send a family member or friend who is in need of a spiritual conversion. Mary's role is simply to bring others to her Son and to teach us that God truly exists. It seems it is virtually impossible to come away from Medjugorje (or simply from reading the book) without experiencing a major change in your life.

read this in 4 days MESMORIZING. Then after researching it is all true & the message continues till this day in Medjugorje, Yugoslavia to the 6 children NOW ADULTS.

This is a must read for every Christian. At the heart of what is happenining in the world today, Mary appears to 6 children in the 1980's in Medjugorje and continues to this day to spread the message of Christ's peace and the diigence required to find it. Having just discovered this story I am amazed that it was hidden from me all these years. It's a story that must be told to all Chrisitans. Despite many nonCatholic's aversion from understanding Mary's role in spreading her sons message, this story is written by a Lutheran writer who finds that Mary is simply leading us back to her son.

"Medjugorje, the Message" may not be for everyone. For example, if you are already certain what God will, and will not do, then this book will not inform you. However, if you are interested in knowing how the alleged apparitions began, who the visionaries are, what is Mary inviting us to do, and how is the world responding, you will look long before finding a better book. In addition, it was written by a Protestant who began his personal investigation as a journalist. This gives his writing style a highly credible quality and allows the reader to form his own impressions based on facts. As someone who has himself visited Medjugorje, this book is as close to being there as you can get!

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.

Throughly enjoyed the book.

The book with in superb condition. Arrived promptly. I am really enjoying the content. It gives an excellent insight into Medjugorje in the early days. It has also enforced the power of prayer and how it is important to find time to pray every day and why the rosary is a special prayer not only to our Lady but it all about the life of Jesus.

I rated this one star. But now five. With anything, judge on the fruits said the Lord. It is not my place to judge when the Lord has used this to convert many souls to Christ. God bless you all and I pray for all to repent and convert to Christ. The son of God. Amen.

Wonderful book, received in a very professionally packaged condition and made a good read.
