Item Description...
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. |

 | Gave Me the Creeps Mar 9, 2008 |
I bought this book because Elizabeth's Book on St. Therese is soooo wonderful, Shower of Roses. But a lot of these stories gave me the creeps. I am sure now that it is not the Blessed Mother appearing at Medjugorje. The stories here left me with an empty feeling, instead of the fullness of joy I felt at the stories about St. Therese. I had bought the book for inspiration, thinking that my prior doubts about Medjugorje may have been unfounded. But I was scared. The Bishop of Medjugorje has forbidden pilgrimages and propogation of messages since 3 ecclesiastical investigations have found nothing supernatural ( of God), though I didn't know that at the time. I forgive Elizabeth completely since she was not raised Catholic. I hope she writes more books with inspirational prayer stories, she has a real gift for it.

| Once I started to read this book, I could not put it down. The stories truly touch your heart. I have purchased additional copies to give to family and friends. | | | | Conversions at Medjugorje Jul 25, 2006 |
I know several of the people in this book. Their conversion
stories are real. They come from all walks of life, Catholic
and non-Catholic. Their testimony shows how God reaches down
in the smallest segments of our lives when we ask Him to
and helps us.
For those who can or are called to Medjugorje, I would
encourage them to go as soon as they can.
For those who cannot go, then reading this book will bring
Medjugorje to them.

| I enjoyed this book the most of any I have read about Medjugorje. The stories are well edited and really inspire the reader to live Gospa's messages. This is not just another book about Medjugorje as a phenomenon. It is fascinating to read about how the people profiled have implemented the teachings that changed them and in effect, made them more Christ-like. They have shared their experiences by helping others. I would recommend this book to people who have any interest in Medjugorje, be they oldtimers or newcomers. | | | | Witness from someone in the book Jun 30, 2006 |
I personally know several of the Catholics whose powerful stories of conversion are presented in this book vis-a-vis their visiting Medjugorje. Elizabeth Ficocelli has been wonderfully true to their stories. This gives me confidence that the remainder of her effort has been to document examples of the positive fruit of Medjugorje as accurately as possible.
Elizabeth does not attempt to prove or disprove the Medjugorje apparitions as other books do. Rather she has gone to the hearts of a few of the multitude of people whose lives have been deeply touched and converted by the Lord Jesus while at Medjugorje.
These beautiful stories are inspiring for faith as they call us to recognize that God is at work in our lives daily. This powerful book shows how God desires to enter into our hearts and lives beyond our small openings to Him. It thus challenges the reader to be more open in our response to our ever present Lord Jesus who beckons us to Himself each day.
The book also shows the incredible love that our Blessed Mother has for us and how powerful her intercession can be. Ultimately whether one believes in the apparitions of our Blessed Mother at Medjugorje or not, this book is filled with inspiring stories of the love of God at work in our world and in the lives of those who seek Him with sincere and open hearts. | | | Write your own review about The Fruits of Medjugorje: Stories of True and Lasting Conversion (Christian Classics)
