The Fruits Of Medjugorje: Stories Of True And Lasting Conversion

Just in time for the 25th anniversary of the first apparition of the Virgin Mary in the village of Medjugorje (on June 25th), this volume provides readers with a collection of compelling firsthand accounts of visits to the site and how Medjugorje genuinely and permanently transformed people's lives.

Since 1981, extraordinary daily apparitions of the Virgin Mary have been taking place in the once-obscure village of Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina. It is estimated that as many as 30 million people from around the world have traveld to this remote location--even in the midst of a bloody civil war--to experience firsthand as unique meeting of heaven and earth. The event has been newsworthy enough to grace the covers of prestigious publications such as Newsweek and Reader's Digest, and to warrant in-depth coverage on 20/20, Unsolved Mysteries, Inside Edition, Geraldo and Sally Jessie Rephael. Just in time for the 25th anniversary of the first apparition (on June 25th), The Fruits Of Medjugorje provides readers with a collection of compelling first-hand accounts of their visit to Medjugorje and its subsequent impact. These stories focus on how Medjugorje genuinely and permanently transformed people's lives, rather than on the controversial supernatural phenomena surrounding the apparitions. Most of the stories come from people who visited Medjugorje--some as pilgrims, some as curious tourists--but all with broken souls and bodies in need of healing. The healing they received helped all of them live more deeply, truly, and faithfully and inspired some to help others.
