Exceptional Content and Quality!
This set of books deserves a 10-star rating or above. The content and quality is exceptional. The books are extremely well-made. The bindings are sewn (not glued), they appear to be linen bound, the pages are thick, smooth, sturdy, and a beautiful cream color. Lastly, the set arrived shrink-wrapped and the books were in perfect condition. I enthusiastically recommend them.

Yes, it's Apocryphal but...
Please don't get fooled by some of the "reviews" of this book you see here. To begin with their concept of "solo sciptura" is inherently flawed. The scriptures are selected texts which were deemed by the Catholic Church to be divine. Yes the same church that is condemed by the very people shaking their "solo sciptura" at you. The bible has been translated, re-written compliled..etc first by The Church and then by others for 2000 years. The Chruch itself rejects "solo scriptura" (meaning faith by scripture alone) acknowleging the 4 Gospels as being devine writings, however the traditions that are practiced in all churches, are also considered a part of the faith.That having been said, yes these books are apocrphal, meaning outside the scriptures. Much of Christian tradition is based on apocrypha. If seeing the Passion deepend your faith, then so will the Books by Catherine Emmerich. The author notes that "only the Gospel is Gospel." However if a clearer picutre of the events in the bible as told by someone who appears to have had visions of the events can help you envision them for yourself what is the sin there. Too call this a "devils" trick is both stupid and self serving. IF the movie the Passion was a "devils" trick because much of the story is outside the words of the bible, then this book is too, because it's far more touching than the movie. If you don't think so, then these books are for you. If do think so, then fine..stay away from Catherine, St. Bridget, and Mary Agreba, and others that, IMO were given divine gifts in order for the rest of us to be helped to strengten our faith.The books by Catherine are facinating and well written. Desciptions such as those in the Garden are incredible and infitely more touching than the movie. So much is missed in the movie that the book is must reading before, during, or after seeing it. Family trees are included that help to explain much of the confusion in the Bible, such as Joesph's lineage from David, Job, Abraham, St.Anne and more. Nothing you read in the Bible is not in here, but so much of what you read is not in the Bible and supports completely what is in there. Some of it is backed up by other Apocrypha, some contradicts it. I am sure that anyone that truly is interested in their Christian faith, and in their true love and undestanding of the Bible will be deeply touched. Read it.

Amazingly Powerful Volume of Books!
TAN Books has done an amazing job on republishing this excellent volume of books on the life of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Our Lady, and Biblical/Salvation History based on the visions of Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich!The visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich have been approved by the Catholic Church and in fact, all four of the books in this volume have the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur. These books seem to be of very good quality and has a cloth like feel.I absolutely love this volume of books. The information contained in these books is very powerful! When I started reading the first volume, I could not put it down! It is so fascinating and makes me fall even deeper in love with Our Lord Jesus Christ and Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, as well as Our Eternal Father and the Holy Spirit!I very highly recommended this volume of books to anyone and everyone who wants to learn more about Our Lord, Our Lady, and Biblical/Salvation History! The price is well worth it! After all, if you truly love Our Lord, you cannot put a price on knowing Him more, learning more about Him!

This could be it
This is an extremely intriguing read for Christians interested in Gospel times. In a few places I wasn’t sure that I was reading Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich’s actual visions/words. This was not the case, however, for the majority of this lengthy document. I am prepared to accept the possibility that at least some (perhaps much) of this represents a record of an authentic visionary experience of the lives of Jesus and Mary (and the events they beheld).
