Joe Coleman made world headlines when he revealed that the Blessed Virgin would be appearing in Knock, County Mayo, in September 2009. Many of the 10,000 people who showed up that day claimed they saw the sun dancing, and Joe himself received a message from Our Lady. Though mistrusted and hounded by the "official" Church and some in the media, Joe earned the respect and trust of many more.

Now, for the first time, Joe Coleman tells his own story. A humble man from a very ordinary background, Joe had the gift of "second sight" from an early age. He first saw Our Lady when he was just twelve years old. Then, at the age of 33, Joe broke his back in an accident; he technically "died" on the operating table, waking 30 minutes later to the astonishment of the doctors and nurses. During this time, Joe claims he visited heaven, seeing the most beautiful sights of his life.

It was after this experience that Joe's true spiritual calling came into its own, and he soon gained a reputation as a remarkable healer and clairvoyant. He spent twenty years healing people who came to him. During this time, he continued to receive messages from the Blessed Virgin. All changed in March 2009 when Our Lady appeared and asked him to bring a young man to Medjugorje. This led to the remarkable events of the past year.

The Message is a powerful true story of faith and revelation. It culminates with the messages Joe has received from Our Lady, messages of incredible changes coming to our world, changes that will see hope triumph over despair – as long as we pray.
