Now THAT'S faith! She is truly a modern living miracle, a woman who wouldn't hesitate to walk out on water to reach Jesus. Her faith is what inspired me. It's so easy for us, in our comfortable lives, to "be religious" but to be in that kind of horror and really RELY and TRUST on your faith in God is just amazing. (I'm also impressed that she taught herself English in that cramped bathroom by using only a Bible and a dictionary - while starving and barely able to move). Now I want to read all of her books. This is one awesome (in the real sense) woman. I wish I could meet her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7349257421667969689.post-38289550842006320322009-07-23T09:50:29.999-04:002009-07-23T09:50:29.999-04:00I read this book about a month ago and it touched me, reached me, in a way that very very few books have. I already planned to purchase "from the ashes" as soon as I am able. You must, everyone must, read this book. From fear to faith, from horror to love, from grief to forgiveness, her experience is a roadmap for us all.Fiat Luxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05753236636016757040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7349257421667969689.post-18417079029745255312009-07-23T08:24:45.530-04:002009-07-23T08:24:45.530-04:00I had the privilege of hearing Immaculee share her story at the Medjugorje Conference at Notre Dame on May 30, 2009. What a remarkable young woman! God is using her as a witness to the horrors that can result from the evil that dwells in human hearts. Her story reminds me of how the horror that she experienced can happen anywhere at any tome if God is not our center. Only forgiveness from the heart can bring a person to pure unconditional love that Immaculee shares through her tears and memories of family members and friends whose lives were so brutally taken from them by friends and neighbors who fell into the devil's trap of hate. I highly recommend her books for all to read in order to learn how to forgive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
