A Protestant journalist investigates what could be the most significant miracle since the Day of Pentecost
On October 27, 1985, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, newspaper publisher and columnist, Wayne Weible, first learned of the phenomenon occurring in the little town with the unpronounceable name. Sensing that there might be material for his column, he decided to pursue the story. Already he had a tie-in in mind that would be perfect for the season: "As we prepare to celebrate the miracle of Christmas, a modern-day miracle may be taking place in an obscure village in Yugoslavia..."The following evening, reviewing a videotape documentary of the events at Medjugorje, he realized that there was far more to it than one column. As it turned out, there were eight, and as requests poured in for reprints, to cut down on copying and postage costs he reproduced them in tabloid form.
To date, more than fifteen million copies of the tabloid
have been distributed. And Wayne Weible's life has been
radically and permanently altered. Now he has written a
book about Medjugorje - the first from a Protestant
perspective. lt may be the most penetrating from any
perspective.

Hours of prayer, work, and conversation with Wayne in the setting of Medjugorje have led me to recognize that there is nothing God has put between us to separate us. lt is as if I am hearing anew the words of Jesus, spoken to His mother from the cross, in a broader sense: "Woman, these are your sons..." |
