 Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich presents the reader with a vivid account of Our Blessed Saviour’s ministry life from his Nativity to the Resurrection. Her visions embellish the New Testament account with ideas about the culture, customs, political and religious sects, architecture, geography, agriculture, and even the weather conditions of first-century Palestine. When reading her descriptions you feel as if you were watching Jesus’ life unfold as a spectator at the events themselves.
While depicting the most profound mysteries of Judaism and Christianity, her narrative synchronises all the events of the Gospels with the feasts, fasts and Sabbaths of the ancient Jewish calendar and liturgy. It includes biographies of the ancestors and relatives of the Holy Family, John the Baptist, the Apostles and minor disciples, Mary Magdalene, Judas and others who knew Our Lord while he dwelt among us. The details contained in the Life of Our Lord profoundly reveal the heart of Our Saviour Jesus Christ. By Clemens Brentano, as taken from the Visions of Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich - This softcover version of the Life of Jesus Christ, is one of the most extraordinary ever published. These four volumes record the vision of the famous 19th-century Catholic mystic, Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich, a nun who was privileged to behold innumerable events of biblical times, going back all the way to the creation of the world. She witnessed the fall of the angels, the sin of Adam, Noah and the flood, the building of the Tower of Babel, the Old Testament Patriarchs, the life and beheading of St. John the Baptist, the life of St. Anne, St. Joseph, the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Mary Magdalen -- and of course the birth, life, public ministry, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as the founding of His Church. And besides describing persons, places, events and traditions in intimate detail, Anne Catherine also sets forth the mystical significance of these visible realities, for their hidden spiritual meanings were to her an open book. There are four volumes dedicated to telling the story of Ven. Emmerich's visions as they pertain to the life of Christ. A veritable treasure of information and insight.

Anne Catherine Emmerich’s writings are the best-known account of the Passion after the Gospels, and influenced Mel Gibson’s blockbuster movie The Passion of the Christ.
Ven. Emmerich's account of the Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ, while faithful to the Bible, is heart-rending, edifying and surprising -- because of its intimate detail. Based on the visions of this great mystic, The Dolorous Passion recounts in incredible detail the horrendous sufferings undergone by our Saviour in His (it would seem) superhumanly heroic act of Redemption. Illuminating in its description of Mary's participation in the sufferings of her Son, this book gives the reader a poignant understanding of why Our Lady is sometimes called our "Co-Redemtrix." The Dolorous Passion is a singular book that conveys a lasting impression of the terrible agony of Our Lord's suffering for us. Here is a book that will melt a heart of stone! A tremendous source of meditative thought for Lent.
"What is it about Emmerich’s books that have provoked such consistently remarkable responses? They are not merely works of uncanny power by a renowned mystic and stigmatist. They present visionary recreations of the exact details and circumstances of the events in the Gospel. These recreations give the faithful the sense of being privileged witnesses to the events described more sparingly in the Scriptures. Paperback. 432 pages.
Taken from the Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich has become a classic in Catholic literature. Based on the mystic visions of the Venerable Emmerich (1774-1824), a German Augustinian nun from Dülman, it focuses first on the ancestry of the Blessed Virgin Mary, then on her childhood and early life, next on her life with Jesus and St. Joseph at Nazareth -- though it does not include the Public Ministry of Christ. Thereafter the narrative picks up following the Passion and Death of Our Lord. Characteristic of all the writings of the visions and revelations of Anne Catherine Emmerich is a beautiful, holy aura that seems to surround and pervade everything she says (most readers sense this aspect of her work from the very first pages); and this work is typical of Sister Emmerich's works in this regard. This book is filled with unusual, saintly descriptions that are not recorded in the Gospel story -- descriptions that supplement and illustrate the Biblical narrative in a way that makes the actual Scripture passages truly come alive. The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary will richly reward the reader with insights he could never gain from any other source and is a book he will remember all his life. This volume focuses on the life of the Mother of Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Powerful and thought provoking.
