5.0 out of 5 stars Awe-inspiring, Life-changing Book, June 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Poem of the Man-God ( 5 Volume Set ) (Hardcover)

Poem of the Man-god books are basically elaborate versions of the Gospels...and much more. I believe you are spiritually called to read these books. They "change" your life as Jesus and Mary reveal the "wonders" of their lives -- and their on-going relationship with us today. Words cannot describe what the five volumes of these books did for me on a spiritual level. They answered every question I had about faith -- and in a timely way so that stories and ideas were revealed to me as questions formed in my mind. Truly the greatest book ever!

Wether you accept the divine visionary status of the author, or are even a christian or not, you will LOVE the telling of the gospels of the New Testament in the detailed personalized fashion used by Maria Valtorta. Even if taken as Biblical or historical fiction, it is a masterpiece of in depth characterization and story telling that stands on its own as unique, inspiring, and personal. If you would like a way to visit the times and people of Jesus Christ's life and mission in a most vibrant true to life manner, these are the books for you. It brings the gospels, the characters, the times and circumstances of Jesus' teachings into a perspective of personality and human depth you will appreciate long after you finish the books. Maria Valtorta's writing brings the relationships between the apostles and Jesus, each other, and his mother to a level of intimacy and approachability way beyond the dogmatic limits and formality possible in the Bible. They reveal the LIFE behind the scriptural verses. I am not a Christian myself, yet if i were, i'm sure i would get even more excited about these books than i already am. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a most satisfyingly uplifting read. And even more so for anyone seriously seeking to get to know Jesus, His associates and teachings better.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Book about Jesus' life besides the Holy Bible, March 18, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Poem of the Man-God ( 5 Volume Set ) (Hardcover)

Maria Valtorta: "THE MAN-GOD" The Book written by Maria Valtorta about the life of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ is very good for understanding the universal love of God to us. In this book there are many unknown situations of Jesus' life on earth including things I've never understood as I read them in the Bible. And I believe that it is the truth that Jesus gave those visions to his servant Maria Valtorta because I've found all important situations of the New Testamony here, too. But they are explained in a very detailed way through the words of Jesus. In my opinion this book "THE MAN-GOD" written by Maria Valtorta is to be seen with the same importance as the four evangelia written by Mattheo, Mark, Luke and John. If you will read it you are able to feel this love of god to us.
