Six truly inspiring stories. It’s hard to imagine individuals more down-and-out than these souls. Five went to Medjugorje for healing and conversion. One went for confirmation of his mission. They all received much more than they ever expected. I raced through this book in one evening. Highly recommended!

I just finished reading Full of Grace: Miraculous Stories of Healing and Conversion through Mary's Intercession, by Christine Watkins. I think this is a great resource for anyone needing hope because they're facing serious life challenges.
Watkins tells the stories of six individuals - including herself - who were not exactly on the right path in life. We hear her own story of struggling to find peace through New Age techniques, such as yoga and psychics, that of a stripper, that of a drug addict, and others who had life experiences which would have brought many of us to the brink.
Through essentially miraculous events, each of these individuals comes to find a better way through the intercession of Our Lady, becoming testimonials to the power of faith in God.
The stories are in the first person, which I found to be a little awkward, since I know it was Watkins writing them, but in reading this book with the heart I also found some of these stories brought me to tears. Watkins provides a great reminder that God wants to have a personal relationship with us and that He will never, ever give up on us.
I recommend adding this to your library if you're seeking a reason to believe or know someone who is. You're able to read the back cover and a few pages by clicking Amazon link, to the left (Click "Click to Look Inside", when you arrive at the site).

There is hope for our world!
I'm so sad that it's taken me 44 years to ask the question, brought on by watching the new Fatima movie, "Is Mary still appearing to someone now". Quick Google search and I found the book, The warning, that book led me to this one. I've already purchased several books to give to friends and family. I want to share this with the world! How did I not know! Thank you Christine for listening to the call and writing this book, and all your other books.

I was amazed by the spiritual connections these people have with Jesus and his Mother Mary. I realized I need to pray more love more and talk with Jesus my friend and Savior.
Great book in touch with God the Blessed Mother and our prayer life!
Pray, fasting, loving, and turning our life to God is really what matters in our world today

Inspired stories of how the Blessed Mother is active in our times!
Each chapter unfolds a personal story of how the Blessed Virgin Mary came into that person’s life and brought them the joy and peace of knowing they’re loved by God!

Call to conversion
That is what this book is about. I think I am a good Catholic but after reading this book know I have a long way to go. Felt very intimidated.
