About the author
Annie Kirkwood is the author of the Mary's Message series, published by Pelican Pond, which presents itself as a record of messages received from the Virgin Mary. Mary's Message to the World, the first and best known of the books, is described as having sold over 500,000 copies and is framed as a set of talks delivered through Kirkwood beginning in the 1990s. Mary's Message of Love and Mary's Message of Hope, Volume Two continue the series, the latter compiling messages distributed through Kirkwood's newsletter between 1996 and 2000, alongside material from workshops she led on unconditional love and forgiveness. The books belong to the channeled-message genre within popular spirituality, addressed to readers already engaged with that tradition rather than to newcomers.
