Contributors to the book come from all walks of life, including a man paralysed from the neck down at the age of seventeen; another young man who was facing a prison sentence and fuond himself in Medjugorje two weeks before his court case; and an ex-priest who had a journey from 'sin to salvation' in Medjugorje. We also hear the stories of Mark Lenaghan, an ex-IRA member, who credits Medjugorje for his conversion and Sr. Colette, Mother Abbess with the Poor Clares, who discovered her vocation in Medjugorje. We hear about a Jewish man's unlikely conversion to Catholicism and a young Englishman who gave up a prosperous career to become a priest after feeling 'called' whilst in Medjugorje.
World-renowned singer, songwriter and composer, Liam Lawton, provides the foreword.
