Angelico Press has completed their monumental, decade-long project of republishing Anne Catherine Emmerich's visions of the life of Jesus in a large-format, double-column trilogy of nearly 1,700 pages. It is unlike any other edition of her work ever published.
Throughout her life, and always with the solace and illumination of God's Word, Catherine sought to meet head-on difficult questions on obedience, self-surrender, the Holy Spirit, illness, doubt, darkness, releasing God's answers in prayer, accepting God's 'wait' and facing death. Her deep probing and the answers she discovered are incorporated into her writing. This book is a unique collection of writings that even includes personal glimpses from her journals. This is inspirational writing at its best.
