A Woman Clothed With The Sun

I read this book, and yes, it has changed my life. After reading about Our Lady's apparitions in Bosnia in this book, I went to see for myself, traveling to the former Yugoslavia and experiencing what Medjugorje was all about. I met the main characters of this book: two of the visionaries, Ivan and Mirjana, and Fr Jozo, the priest at the time of the first visions, who was imprisoned by the communists. And what strikes me about this book and what I saw is the consistency: over twenty years after the first apparitions, Our Lady is still appearing daily in Medjugorje, miracles are still happening and the Gospel is still being preached by saintly Franciscans, like Fr. Jozo. This book gives you the history of the region and of the apparitions and includes many scientific facts about what occurs during the visions. From everything I've read, and my own investigations this much I can say: the Madonna is appearing in Medjugorje, and its no `spark' from heaven, its more like a sun, or rather a `woman clothed with the sun', who is lighting up the world with her messages of peace, love, and conversion. Read this book: it might change your life too and lead you on a journey of discovery.

The greatest book on Medjugorje I've ever read.

If you just read one book on Medjugorje, this is the one. Mary Craig writes from an objective point of view on the apparitions in Medjugorje. Originally there to produce a documentry for BBC television, she ended up believing the events (after witnessing the sun dance )and writing a book. This book is the most factual, informative and realiable book written yet on Medjugorje. This book takes the reader back to the early 1980's when six teenagers saw the Mother of God on their village hill and the events that flowed from it. It tells of their questioning by the communist officials, their encounters with the local bishop and their perserverence in proclaiming the apparitions in the face of so much adversity. No other Medjugorje writing comes close to this book. While others try to turn the events into a class on theology, this book tells the facts. Whatever one feels about God or Mary, one cannot ignore the facts. This book will enlighten all who read it.
