Anne Catherine Emmerich - The Dying Flutchman - 12-15-2012
Anyone ever read her books on the life of Christ? I got them from a friend for an early Christmas present and am really loving the first volume so far. What do you who have read them think?

Love them. Very rich.
Re: Anne Catherine Emmerich - Deidre - 12-15-2012
They're beautiful! I love the sections on Mary's life, as well as the Passion.

Doesn't appeal to me much, but Bl. Pope Pius IX loved them. That's a good litmus test if you ask me.

I like those thick volumes of Love of Jesus Christ and the Old Testament. Cool stuff. Not sure it it's 100% legit, but I'll buy it until I'm corrected by the Almighty Himself on the other side.

I find them interesting. Used to read them when I first came back to the Church. Part of our yearly Lenten meditation is to read the passion part.
