The Mystical City of God: A Popular Abridgment

When I read the "The Mystical City of God", I began to appreciate more the beauty of God's divine plan for Man - everything that had happened from the very Beginning of Creation (creation of the heavens, the angels, and man) until the time that God sacrificed His only begotten Son to save mankind, through the workings of the Holy Spirit and with the assistance of His Holy Handmaid and Most Chaste Spouse - Mary. It gave me answers to numerous questions in my mind - why does the devil abhor Mother Mary? Why does he tempt Man? Who is Mary? and many more... As I turn on each page, the more I felt that I was reading the Bible because it is giving me more picturesque descriptions of what actually transpired - those that were not "seen" and which were not explicitly written by the evangelists. These things are VITAL FOR EVERY CATHOLIC TO KNOW. This made me conclude that for one to appreciate more the Holy Bible and see the real beauty of the Love of God, this is a MUST READ BOOK FOR EVERY PRACTICING CATHOLIC AS WELL AS FOR ALL CHRISTIANS ALIKE.

This book is a must for any catholic, especially one who wishes to increase his/her devotion to Our Lady. This book is a wonderful source for meditation and provides interesting insights into events of history not commonly known or understood well. Get this book immediately!

This book has all the answers to the questions that Catholics have had pass through their minds about the life of Christ and the Holy family during the 33 years that Jesus lived here on earth.Miracles that preceded Cana are explained. It also has God the father's views of why he formed man and the universe. The Father explains to the author what happened in the sequences from the creation of the heavens and angelic beings, to the creation of the earth and man in God's image. His ideas of what he wanted to do to redeem man and the creation of the physical beings of Mary and Jesus to do this. It explains the workings of the demon angels and what their part was in the life of Christ. It is a facinating account of our world from the Father's viewpoint. I have read the one volume abridgement but it does not have all the interesting information that the four volume set has . I recommend reading the four volumes.
