Summary: You must be ready to read this book
Review: Annie Kirkwood has written an important book. I personally believe that Annie Kirkwood's book is a message from Mary, but even if you do not believe, this book holds important truths. Mary's asks us to return to God. This is her main message, and she shows us how to pray and meditate. Mary also gives us details of Jesus's birth and childhood. I loved this part of the book because it made Mary and Jesus and Joseph more real to me. This is the "real" Christmas story as told by Mary. Mary also teaches us about our spirit and purpose here on earth. These messages are so important for us to learn. If you read the book for no other reason, read it to learn about our spirit world. The predictions of the future of Earth and mankind is a big focus of this book. Some of the dates for these predictions have passed, but this does not lessen the impact of the book at all for me. You will receive more from this book if you are open to the message. This book teaches that we are spirit and eternal, that we are all one. One religion is not better than another. The importance is to return to God and to love. I suggest reading "Conversations with God vol. 1" by Neale Donald Walsch also.

Summary: Be open-minded
Review: Dear potential readers:A few thoughts. If you don't like "channeled" material, I wouldn't recommend this book. Like most channelled literature, the average skeptic will beat themselves up over the method of delivery, and barely be able to stomach the message itself. If you aren't open-minded, this book will most likely result in a headache. Perhaps that is good for some. My father, who is a staunch Catholic, says that the Bible clearly indicates that "prayer changes prophecy", so please keep an open mind when the prophecies in dispute don't jive with our current timeline. This book wasn't channeled like Seth, in that the continuity between chapters isn't as smooth. It doesn't read as "booklike". This is in part because certain chapters were included based on an editor's interest. Those readers of the "Michael Material" will understand what I mean. A very good read. I have had a conversion of heart. I also love correlating this stuff with Emmanual, Micheal, Seth, and even the Bible and so far have found mostly unifying theory. Good wishes on everyone's inevitable search for God within.

Summary: Messages from the Virgin, with simplicity and urgency.
Review: From time to time many of us have had the fantasy that words, used in perfect combination, could somehow change the world. Or perhaps we dreamed that ordinary sentences in todays language could somehow make us willingly change ourselves. Many people would say that such a book has been written, or more exactly, dictated to Annie Kirkwood. In 1987, Annie began to feel the presence, and hear the messages of the Virgin Mary. Annie's disbelief, resistance, and acceptance is a story in itself, but what remains are Mary's messages of great importance to us all. The Kirkwoods, Annie and Byron, have received many letters about this book. Most of the writers relate of what has already been mentioned, lives have been changed, or that this is a most important book for our times. Others have told me that it is like the information of the Bible: concise, easy to read, and every bit as compelling. What I and others are trying to say is that an important book has been written, a book of great power and scope. Contained in the ten chapters are warnings, predictions, Mary's and Joseph's life on earth together, a message to every family and the world, sections on love, ourselves as spirit, prayer, the aftertime, and a message from Jesus. In the world today are many children and adults who are contacted by Mary and pass those messages along to us. The messages contain a consistancy, love, and urgency in what is relayed, and these thoughts continue in "Mary's Messages". Mary calls for a return to God, to prayer, and preparation for changes. Many serious predictions are spoken of and have occured, while other disturbing changes remain. In a recent newsletter mailed by the Kirkwoods, Mary has explained that predictions are given to capture our attention. In some cases, the events recorded in this book (published in 1991) have been pushed back or diminished because of our prayers and favorable actions. She has explained that these are days of grace, that the predictions in the book whose dates have passed have not lapsed, but that we have been given additional time before their occurence, a gift. This is a deeply spiritual book, without the limits of organized religions, ringing truthfully and clearly. Perhaps, as so many have said, this is the book we have been looking for

Summary: Seems everyone loves it or hates it....I'm in the middle....
Review: I'm writing this review on August 20th, 2001. According to this book New York is underwater, California has fallen into the sea and most of the east coast has been re-written. This is not the first text to predict dire earth changes but makes very GENERAL predictions for specific years. Now that these years have come and gone without prediction of the prophecy what are we to think? I found the writing in the first half of the book very repetitive and hardly displaying the depth of material found in the latter half. In the back of my "Mary's Message" book is a paragraph about Byron Kirkwood's book (Anne's husband) called "Survival Guide for the New Millennium : How to Survive the Coming Earth Changes"...fairly suspect to say the least...The material greatly improves beginning with chapter 7 as it coincidentally loses its "beat a dead horse" earth changes tone. These chapters are well written and indeed seem to be spoken from someone with a "higher than physical" perspective and pretty much agrees with the "Seth" material channeled by Jane Roberts and some parts with the "Abraham" material channeled by Esther Hicks. I would suggest either of those authors in lieu of Mrs. Kirkwood.
