Product Description
Contains many astounding revelations that support our faith, yet are not contained in the Bible or in any other sacred literature. Includes a day-by-day account of the public life of Christ, plus a rendition of the lives of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, St. John the Baptist, St. Anne and St. Joachim, plus many ancestors of Our Lord. Describes events from the creation of the world to the Apostles' early missionary work, plus the death of the Blessed Mother. Shows that the Church founded by Jesus Christ is the Catholic Church, identical in substance, and even in many details, with the Catholic Church of our times. Says the Egyptians falsified their calendar to make their nation appear older than it was. Says that the Holy Grail of the First Mass was the same chalice used by Melchisedech in his sacrifice of bread and wine. Says St. Peter worked more miracles than any other Apostle, also that he celebrated Mass exactly as Our Lord had done. A treasure trove of information obtainable from no other source. Seems an act of God these visions were permitted and recorded.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Life of Jesus Christ and Biblical Revelations (4 Volumes) (Life of Jesus Christ & Biblical Revelations) (Paperback)
Please don't get fooled by some of the "reviews" of this book you see here. To begin with their concept of "solo sciptura" is inherently flawed. The scriptures are selected texts which were deemed by the Catholic Church to be divine. Yes the same church that is condemed by the very people shaking their "solo sciptura" at you. The bible has been translated, re-written compliled..etc first by The Church and then by others for 2000 years. The Chruch itself rejects "solo scriptura" (meaning faith by scripture alone) acknowleging the 4 Gospels as being devine writings, however the traditions that are practiced in all churches, are also considered a part of the faith. That having been said, yes these books are apocrphal, meaning outside the scriptures. Much of Christian tradition is based on apocrypha. If seeing the Passion deepend your faith, then so will the Books by Catherine Emmerich. The author notes that "only the Gospel is Gospel." However if a clearer picutre of the events in the bible as told by someone who appears to have had visions of the events can help you envision them for yourself what is the sin there. Too call this a "devils" trick is both stupid and self serving. IF the movie the Passion was a "devils" trick because much of the story is outside the words of the bible, then this book is too, because it's far more touching than the movie. If you don't think so, then these books are for you. If do think so, then fine..stay away from Catherine, St. Bridget, and Mary Agreba, and others that, IMO were given divine gifts in order for the rest of us to be helped to strengten our faith. The books by Catherine are facinating and well written. Desciptions such as those in the Garden are incredible and infitely more touching than the movie. So much is missed in the movie that the book is must reading before, during, or after seeing it. Family trees are included that help to explain much of the confusion in the Bible, such as Joesph's lineage from David, Job, Abraham, St.Anne and more. Nothing you read in the Bible is not in here, but so much of what you read is not in the Bible and supports completely what is in there. Some of it is backed up by other Apocrypha, some contradicts it. I am sure that anyone that truly is interested in their Christian faith, and in their true love and undestanding of the Bible will be deeply touched. Read it.
