Testimonials about the Volumes

Testimonial to the Heaven Speaks booklets

I wanted to let you know about the little book on depression you gave me for Frank about two years ago. Frank liked that book a lot. We met someone a year or so ago that had depression, and he gave his copy away. I never got him another, and then when he was really sick this last month in the hospital, Mark visited him and brought him the Anne book on depression. Frank was so happy to see it again. He literally clung to that book for three days straight. And I mean clung to it, he slept with it, read and reread every page over and over. It gave him such comfort in his absolute darkest hours. That book is a little miracle, he believes it was written with him in mind, and I don't doubt Frank was one of the souls Jesus was thinking of when he gave the words to Anne.

So I just wanted to let you know how important the work your husband is doing by helping that ministry. If you ever doubt on a bad day, just know that the books that he is working to help bring about are making a huge difference. It did for Frank.

Hope your week is great.

Testimonial to the Volumes

On the 31^st of March 1994 I retired from a very successful career in business intending to enjoy my two favourite hobbies, music and golf. Unfortunately, this did not last long as in September I was diagnosed with cancer of the prostate gland. I had to have major surgery and I spent five weeks in hospital. There were side affects after this operation which affected me badly. My whole world crashed around me and I went into a terrible depression. I could not accept this life and I turned to alcohol for relief. I soon became an alcoholic and addicted to over the counter drugs including cough mixture which contained codeine.

Over the next four years I was in three Rehab Centres attended three and four AA meetings a week without success. Then one night in August 2001 a gentleman came to our town to give his testimony on his healing in Medjugorje from similar addictions, including gambling. Jesus must have touched me that night for the desire for alcohol lifted completely and I have been in recovery ever since. The depression remained for another four years but I prayed daily to Jesus and Mary especially at the Consecration during Mass. Every morning I said several Chaplets for the Holy Souls, asking them for help.

One day in October 2005, a friend gave me Volume One of Direction for our Times. As I read these messages I began to realise how different they were. I had never read messages like these. I felt Jesus was speaking to me personally. I felt the deep love He had for each one of us. I had the compelling urge to tell other people about them and I had no doubt in my mind that they were true. The depression began lifting and by the end of the year it was gone completely.

It was some months later while reading "Climbing the Mountain" that I read the message given by Jesus to "Anne" on the fifth of April 2004 in which He said "Those who read these words will know if they have been called to participate in this heavenly mission I want these messages spread throughout the world."

This was confirmation for me that I had made the right decision. As "Anne's spiritual director said, Jesus had spent the last 10 years preparing me for this Mission. It has changed my life completely and I pray that as you read these messages, it will change yours.

Nearly two years ago an old college friend resurfaced in my life. I had not seen nor heard from her for over 25 years. She found me through an Internet search and for reasons not entirely clear she felt like it was time to look me up. After a few re-acquainting e-mails she began sending me the “messages”. In the beginning, she would send one, then two every so often. At first glance you could tell that the thoughts and expressions were uncommon, yet familiar. They were very personal and spoke to my soul.

As I contemplated the messages, I never found any of the content to be in conflict with the scriptures or any Church teachings. On the contrary, the messages echoed past catechisms taught in grammar school, but this time was presented in a personal, authoritative, and loving way. This reminded me of the New Testament writings that described Jesus’ teachings as “astonishing” and as “from one who had authority”. There was more though, because within this familiar framework these words expressed deeper thoughts and revealed more information. Information that was not always obvious but none-the-less true.

This deeper level of communication if you will, went right down to the soul and affected my spirit. Was it not written that His Word could separate body, soul, and spirit? His Spirit, in my spirit acknowledged His Truth. I knew it was He inside my interior self. My mind also testified to the facts and the source, you see I knew that my friend was credible. Our college time together included the usual “academic” activities but more importantly a spiritual element, as both of us were “Reborn”. Jesus Christ reached out to us and came barreling into our lives. Now, reading His words, my soul jumped for joy. My very self knew I was cornered by His ineffable love. His Presence, imprinted by the words was undeniable.

As the messages continued, each was anticipated eagerly. When was the next one to come? When it arrived it was devoured as bread by a famished soul. The Life it stored was incredible. The revelations, the tremendous love were now portrayed in all its glory. He explained how He felt; how we have hurt Him and yet beckoned us to return home. He gives us specific instructions on what and how to come back to Him and how to stay with Him. The Volumes are arguably the best road map to Christ and holiness outside the New Testament. Often, He makes bold promises, which He has delivered upon if a soul will commit to Him. You see, He wants us back and has taken the trouble to write us an eight-volume invitation.

To all souls, no matter what your spiritual relation to Christ, this is simply a required read.

My name is Dave. I am a born and raised Catholic from a family of 9. I have always been a practicing Catholic and thought I knew everything.

One day, I was over at my aunt's house talking about life's problems and my search for direction in life. She told me about "Anne", her story, and the messages she was recording. She just so happened to have a set (or 20), and asked if I would read them. I was reluctant. I thought that this was not for me, I did not have the time, etc. But I told her I would read them because she thought they were so important. I said a prayer to God: "OK God, if you want to teach me something about life and my faith through these books, so be it. But you have to make time in my day for me to read them."

The next day, I woke up a half hour earlier than I usually do.

I am so grateful to my aunt for introducing me to these books. These messages have affirmed things in my life I was not sure about, have reintroduced me to Mother Mary, and have awakened me up to accepting her as my mother. Slowly Jesus has been changing me, purifying me. I start my day with at least one message of the day.

God has been teaching me and loving me through these messages. I still fall, but I am constantly reminded to go to Jesus, especially after faltering. The messages of hope, renewal, and faith have been life changing for me.

I encourage everyone no matter where they are with their walk with the Lord to read these messages. They are a great source of encouragement, wisdom, and grace.

In Christo,
Dave Carriel
