Various editions of the Anne Catherine Emmerich's remarkable visions have been compiled over the years, but only recently (2009) have Brentanos complete notebooks (in 38 volumes) been published, and this new 4volume edition benefits greatly from this new resource.Anne Catherine was so attuned to the life of Jesus that her visions encompassed minute details of time and place. Along with other supplements, this definitive edition incorporates a daybyday chronology andduring the days of Passiona nearly hourbyhour itinerary. It contains also 43 detailed maps specially drawn to depict Jesuss journeys. Many efforts have been made to date events in the life of Jesus, but those offered in this edition differ from all previous efforts in that they derive from the application of modern chronological science to the totality of Anne Catherines visions as a coherent whole. In addition, 149 illustrations drawn from the monumental work of the French painter James J. Tissot (18361902)who was himself largely inspired by his Anne Catherines visionsare distributed among the 4 volumes.Over the years many have attested to the transformative power of these visions, and on Oct. 3, 2004, Anne Catherine was beatified by Pope John Paul II. It is the publishers hope that these visions, so engaging as historical narrative and so replete with spiritual insight, may open a gatewayfor the many moderns who have fallen out of connection with the life and teaching of Jesusto the earthly garden where the Spirit bloomed, and blossoms still.An extraordinary, captivating look at how a major mystic saw the life of Jesus, with monumental artwork that brings us to Palestine two thousand years ago, unfolding for our inspiration and discernment the greatest event in the history of humanity since Creation.Michael H.
