Reading this book was very interesting and I recommend this to my FB friends and family. A very informative book with pictures about our Blessed Mother appearing still today at Medjugorje. I could not put this book down at all, I take it everywhere I go. I loved one part where the Blessed Mother is appearing to the visionaries and the blessed Mother is holding infant Jesus. And baby Jesus winking at the visionaries whenever blessed Mother opens her blanket to the visionaries. The book also talks about the 10 secrets that each of the visionaries have received or will receive. So, this Christmas I will probably be giving some of these books away for gifts, especially to my children.
I love this book. It is filled with pictures and quite comprehensive. If I had to recommend one book to someone going to Medjugorje so that they could have an understanding of what has gone on in Medjugorje and how it fits in with other Marian apparitions, I would recommend this book. It is not arranged into definite chapters, but a listing of the sections it contains will give a good sense of all that the book contains:
*Forward: Private and Public Revelation *Medjugorje - the locale and its history *The first apparition *Early intimations? *Medjugorje in the summer of 1981 *The apparition appears again...and continues to reappear *From July 1, 1981, onwards... *A selection of the descriptions of various encounters with the visionaries and Our Lady over the first year of apparitions, June 1981 - June 1982 *Our Lady's call *Medjugorje unfolds... *Our Lady as the visionaries see her *Medjugorje under anothe form of attack *Medjugorje in the context of other apparitions of Our Lady *Remarkable priests *Medjugorje and healing... *The visionaries through the years...lives in witness *The Popes and Medjugorje *Medjugorje...all things to all men (and women!) *Communities aspiring to Apostolic Life who have established association with Medjugorje *Medjugorje artworks *Medjugorje...a holy place ever growing *Medjugorje awaits *Interviews with those involved or associated with Medjugorje *Appendices
More than any of the other books that I have read related to Medjugorje, this book makes me want to travel there. This beautifully bound hardcover book if filled with pictures in addition to all of the information listed above. I appreciate its author the Rev. James Mulligan very much and am sad to be unable to learn more about him in my additional research. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Medjugorje or Marian apparitions.
