5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, inspiring and well researched book ., May 11, 1998

By A Customer

This book is without a doubt the most concise and complete book ever written about the mystic Therese Neumann. The author obviously had access to information that no other writer previously had, and used this information to offer the reader an insightful look into one of the most important mystics of our time. Unlike other books about Therese Neumann which are either politically motivated and thus subjective, or incomplete in their information, this author has succeeded in bringing to life this wonderful woman in a way that makes the reader feel not only inspired by her, but close to this totally human (and humorous) person. The transcript of the Passion vision is awesome and detailed. The reader feels as if they are ACTUALLY there, and very privileged to have been given the opportunity to be a "co-wittness" to this event. If you get a chance, this reader recommends reading this well written book. It will leave you feeling spiritually inspired as well as educating you on this important mystic. It is easy to read because it is so well written. A real page turner! I give it an A+++!!

By A Customer

This is not only fascinatig book but also one wchich can change your life.Written by author with great love for very profound saint,who expressed by her life truth of catholic faith.This book should be red by enyone - catholics and noncatholics for better understanding theology which is often criticized in very shallow way. The second great saint of our times is Mother Teresa -as one using in practice of daily life the true of christian theology.These 2 great saints should be studied by anyone who wants to find in serious way understanding of Truth of Jesus Christ.
