The Gospel as Revealed to Me: Volume 1

By: Maria Valtorta

Narrated by: Father Peter Bowes

The Gospel as Revealed to Me (formerly "The Poem of the Man-God") is the title of the new edition of Maria Valtorta's main work. The new English edition is similar to the original Italian both for the title and for the subdivision in 10 volumes.

It narrates the birth and childhood of the Virgin Mary and her Son, Jesus; the three years of Jesus' public life, forming the largest section; his passion, death, resurrection, and ascension; the beginnings of the Church; and the assumption of Mary.

In lofty literary style, the work describes landscapes, environments, people, and events with the vividness of graphic depiction. It presents characters and situations with introspective insight and sets forth moments of joy or drama with the feeling of someone really taking part in them. It provides information on the characteristics of settings, customs, rites, and cultures with convincing detail.

By way of a gripping account of the Redeemer's earthly life, especially through discourse and dialogue, the work sheds light upon the whole doctrine of Christianity in keeping with Catholic orthodoxy.

Rich

The gosple comes alive throughout this book. The combination of Jesus's words and the narrator's voice are like a caress to my heart.

Moving and beautifully read

Wow! This book is unlike like anything I’ve ever read. Listening to it, felt like being right with with Jesus and Mary, the Apostles, and the people that they taught and healed, as it happened. The narration was beautiful.

Immersion in the life of Jesus

The narrator has such a soothing voice as I imagine Jesus must have had love listening to it.

Beautiful!!!!

I am listening to all the books a second time. I feel closer to God when I listen to them. He is teaching me.

Profound.

Profound stories. They shed light on the gospels, give a greater knowledge of Jesus, Mary and the apostles.
