Conversations with Mary

At age five, in the backyard of her suburban home, Anna Raimondi had a profound experience. A contemplative child, she slid her body into the small grotto that once held a statue of the Blessed Mother. Anna remembers "a feeling of pure and unadulterated peace." In that peace, she heard a voice. It was gentle and strong, and it said, "Anna, I am here for you always. Always come to me." That was the beginning of their first conversation. And while many more followed, the ones included in this book took place in the last year and follow Mary's emphatic, progressive message that she wants to be heard by all, regardless of religious affiliation.

Through Anna, Mary touches and teaches important truths about:

- A soul, its immortal nature and the lessons along each soul's journey.

- Prayer, its power, the right way to pray, and the difference between surrendering to God and not taking responsibility for one's actions.

- What happens when we die, with revelations into the realities of heaven, hell, purgatory, and reincarnation.

Mary also provides insightful answers to questions about terrorism, the world's refugee crisis, racism, gender inequality, marriage equality, and more. Her "conversations with Anna are simultaneously illuminating, and provocative, and she "offers wisdom and solace for all" (HuffPost).
