Vassula : a sign of God's love (bok, danskt band, eng)

This book is a presentation of the series of prophetic messages revealed to and published by Vassula Rydén during almost four decades, translated into 42 languages and spread all over the world.

The reader can follow Vassulas Rydén’s own life journey from an ignorant, fumbling relationship with God, through a painful spiritual purification, to a mystic’s intimate and confidential love relationship with the Creator. The messages here range from everyday matters to predictions of major world events. God’s wrath against evil and sin is not hidden, but surpassed by an infinitely stronger love that reaches into the depths of the soul. And at the center of it all - a burning desire for Christian unity.

Written by a Lutheran pastor, the book describes how these messages have borne fruit around the world, and deepens our understanding of the prophetic charism by placing it in the context of the church’s history and spiritual theology. From Morten Sager’s foreword:

For me, this is the big benefit, getting fresh pictures and words of God’s commitment; a voice that shakes me, warms and sends. Because that is what happens when reading. I am warmed and my faith catches fire. Like with all good spiritual literature.

Whether Vassula’s service is accepted or viewed with suspicion, this is a book that is needed. In view of Vassula Rydén’s worldwide prophetic ministry, it is important to have accurate representations of this strange occurrence in contemporary church history. And we cannot get too much of new, warming, challenging images of God’s care for us.
