Life of Jesus Christ And Biblical Revelations. One of the most extraordinary books ever published. These four volumes record the visions of the famous 19th-century Catholic mystic, Blessed 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, Noe and the Flood, the lives of St. John the Baptist, St. Anne, St. Joseph, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and St. Mary Magdalen. Also includes the birth, life, public ministry, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as the founding of His Church. Besides describing persons, places, events and traditions in intimate detail, Anne Catherine Emmerich also sets forth the mystical significance of these visible realities.

With this third book I have finished reading all four of the volumes. My reading order was basically 1-4-2-3 because back in 2012 I decided to jump straight to Vol 4 for my Lent reading list (as it covered everything from Palm Sunday onwards), but I did not track it on GR as I plan to re-read it again.
I may or may not write a proper review for these books somewhere down the line, although I am leaning more towards "probably not"... I would recommend it highly to all Catholics but at the same time realise that it may not be for all Catholics.
My usual stance in this is to leave it to personal discernment.

Like the other volumes, this book is faithful to the Gospel accounts of Jesus. Unfortunately, this means adhering firmly to the notions that Sickness is caused by Sin, Divorce is Evil, Hell is Real, Baptism is Supernatural, Possession is Demons, and Miracles are Literal Events. :/
There are some spectacular examples of misogyny that stand out from the ordinary, everyday misogyny throughout these books. Wives should keep their eyes lowered unless looking at their husbands, it seems...!
Interestingly, Emmerich describes Jesus, in the third year of his mission, travelling to Cyprus (preaching), to Ur (visiting the "tent castles" of the Magi) and Egypt (visiting those he had met as a child).
