Editorial Reviews

Christine Watkins’s beautiful and touching collection of conversion stories prompted or touched by Medjugorje’s apparitions is further proof of the good fruits of this ongoing phenomenon. The stories are direct, honest, heart-rending, and miraculous.

I have read several books on Medjugorje and bought this one to take on a trip. It sounded like it would be easy reading, several personal stories so that I could read a person’s story, put it down and pick up the book for a small read during my vacation. That idea was far from the truth. The stories are compelling, makes you evaluate and ponder your soul, your thoughts, your actions, your direction, your faith and your beliefs. They are so profound that they challenge you to re-evalutate

I just finished Full of Grace on March 31, 2011. It was an absolutely outstanding read, and I was so moved by the stories of the subjects that were written about. Great work, Mrs. Watkins, a true masterpiece that I will encourage others to read, as this is one of the top four books I have ever read. The Bible is the greatest, of course. This would be a different world we live in if every human being read this book just once.

I love this book and handed it to my co-worker, who hadn’t been to church for years. When she was reading the book, a great heat came over her and poured through her body. She decided after this experience of reading the remarkable stories, that she would return to the Catholic Church. She handed the book to her children, who had also left the church, and after reading it, they decided to return to church, as well. Full of Grace is a remarkable tool in the hands of the Lord Himself.

Rebecca Legaspi

This is one of the most inspiring books that I have read about Mary’s intercession. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. A book which will surely impact anyone who has doubts and feelings of despair. This book will give you hope and change your life. It has changed mine.
