"This book of meditations on the torment of Jesus, first published
in 1833, was one of the inspirations for Mel Gibsons controversial
film The Passion of the Christ. German Roman Catholic saint and
mystic ANNE CATHERINE EMMERICH (17741824) had powerful and detailed
visions of the events leading up to and including the crucifixion
of Jesus, during which she suffered the stigmata. Related as if by
an observer on the scene, this compelling retelling of the last
days of Jesusfrom the preparations for the Last Supper through
Jesus temptation the Garden of Gethsemani and his confrontation
with Pilate to his execution and resurrectionthis is a unique
perspective on a story that continues to resonate through Western
culture today, and is essential reading for Christians seeking a
deeper understanding of their faith, as well as for readers of
modern religious mythology."
This book helped inspire Mel Gibson to make the movie, \"The
Passion of the Christ.\" Faithful to the Bible story of the Passion
and death of Jesus, it fills in many details and is edifying and
inspiring beyond belief; plus, it is surprising and heart-rending.
It will melt a heart of stone. This book is the best on the Passion
we have seen. It is also wonderful on the Blessed Mother\'s role in
our redemption. Includes a short biography of Sr. Emmerich. A
great, great book for the whole family Impr. 382 pgs, PB
Incredibly revealing and edifying background of Our Lady, her
parents, ancestors, and St. Joseph, plus other people who figured
into the coming of Christ. Many facts are described about the
Nativity, the early life of Our Lord, and the final days of the
Blessed Mother.
The visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich are the world\'s
greatest source of detail on the life of St. Mary Magdalen -- great
sinner and penitent. Fully referenced to The Life of Jesus Christ
(their source), these pages agree completely with Sacred Scripture,
but also tell of Mary Magdalen\'s sinful life from age 9, her
extravagant attire, her second repentence after falling back into
sin, her exorcism by Our Lord, His defense of her against the
self-righteous, her relationship with Martha and Lazarus, her
external appearance, her role at Calvary and much more. Impr. 176
pgs, PB
This work begins with the holy marriage of the Blessed Virgin Mary
and Saint Joseph and proceeds to discuss the significance of her
wedding ring. Several chapters are devoted to the Annunciation. The
the trip from Nazareth to Bethlehem is considered. Then we consider
all of the holy events at Bethlehem leading up to birth of our
Divine Savior, Jesus Christ
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
