The Poem of the Man-God (5 Volume Set)

You may hear some people say that you shouldn't read these books by Maria Valtorta. People said that to me also. I chose to make up my own mind and decided to read them. I loved them. They made me feel so close to my Lord and Savior. God wants us to know Him and to love Him. Reading these books took me out of my day-to-day world and up-close with Jesus. It's a reading experience I am so grateful I didn't miss. I love God even more since reading these books. I invite you to open your heart and mind, and read "The Poem of the Man-God"...and don't be afraid! Peace to You!

Life changing

After the Holy Bible and the most sacred perennial books of the Catholic Faith (the Summa Theologica, etc.), there is perhaps no greater book that exists in the world today than the Poem of the Man-God, and I think it is truly impossible for any person of good will to not only highly benefit from reading it; but I would go so far as to say that any person of good will who reads it will almost certainly have his life changed profoundly in some way. I believe the Poem of the Man-God is one of the greatest gifts and mercies God has ever given to mankind, and that it is of such importance as to be listed, historically, side by side, with the Sacred Heart revelations, La Salette, Lourdes, Fatima, the Miraculous Medal, and all of the great Church-approved private revelations of history; and that it is so lofty and magnificent that it even surpasses all visions and dictations of the life of Christ and of the Blessed Virgin ever given to mankind to date, including those written by Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich and those written by Venerable Mary of Agreda in her world-renowned work, The Mystical City of God. I found an e-book about Maria Valtorta and the Poem of the Man-God which the well-known Valtorta site Maria Valtorta Webring has hosted for download and Douay-Rheims Bible Online (which has 70,000 visitors a year) has also hosted on their website. To find the download link for it, google "Maria Valtorta Web Ring", go to their site, and on their home page, scroll down to the "Poem of the Man-God Research Document". This e-book is a comprehensive and well-researched guide to everything a Catholic could want to know about Maria Valtorta's Poem of the Man-God, including its importance, its history, its ecclesiastical status, how it compares to other revelations, the 14 proofs of its divine origin, its critics and defenses, amazing findings about Maria Valtorta and her revelations, and much more! This free e-book is the result of hundreds of hours of research over 6 months, utilizing a tremendous number of Internet and printed sources. To give you a taste of its level of depth and scholarship: it has 902 references/endnotes. Check it out. Also check out the trailer, which can be found by googling "Poem of the Man-God research document trailer". God Bless!

We live by faith as Catholics and crucial to that faith is the belief that The Holy Spirit has imparted to us all the graces and knowledge we need to understand what we need to understand. Reading this clap-trap full of bourgeois sentiment and ignorant fantasies, wildly unhistoric, spiritually unsound throughout will KEEP you from reading what you NEED to read and deeply ponder and turn you away from simplicity of heart and make you a "Valtorta Groupie" or worse.

For those above judgment and those who see without the eyes of religion. IT is them who will understand this work truly for its message of forgiveness and love. The church says many things most of which are not true. This is one of them. I advise to those who seek within to read and critique for themselves. peace

These are the most amazing, life-changing, thought-provoking, soul-inspiring and soul-saving books everyone should read at least once in their lives. The wisdom they contain is priceless and they have truly become my most prized material possessions. I have laughed, gasped, melted away in love and have literally sobbed, both for joy and in sorrow, for what's been revealed in these pages. Unlike anything you've ever experienced and you feel as if this was written especially for you to read (because it WAS!) All glory & praise to God, forever and ever - Amen ~

These Five Volumes have helped me immensely to return to as well as to remain in my Christian (Catholic) faith after dropping out for 30 long years. I could never get into the Bible until I started reading the Poem and now I am reading the Bible with new appreciation and thanksgiving for the Word of God. The Poem deepened my Faith and brought a new understanding of the word "unconditional Love". I am much more in the Peace of the Lord and the Joy of "remembering His Love, Life and Sacrifice". And yes: I am also reading the Bible as well as studing the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Holy Father. The Rosary has new meaning to me and I pray the Rosary every day. Never in my wildest dream, I though anyone or anything could change me and bring me back to our Mother Church - the Poem did! I always wished and prayed that Jesus Himself would guide me through the Bible. Jesus did just that and more through the 5 volumes of the Poem and the 3 volumes of the NoteBooks. In JMJ, Violete

It's a very wonderful book. Kindly read this book with holy spirit. Because He will teach all the things with clear meaning. This book author also write this book with the help of Holy spirit. Our LORD's Mother with you. May LORD Bless you. Ave Maria....

As others who have reviewed this book have said, the Bible is the first source for God's word. When we read the Bible we are meant to meditate on what we are reading. What I have found is that this book helps me to do that. It draws me more deeply into the different stories being told. I greatly enjoyed reading Volume 1 and I am looking forward to reading the other volumes as well.
