Publisher's Description:

"'The Mystical City of God' by Venerable Mother Mary of Jesus of Agreda (1602-1665) is a monumental four-volume, 2,676-page history of the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as revealed by Our Lady to this 17th-century Spanish nun. Venerable Mary saw in ecstasy all the events recorded here. Later, Our Lady told her to write them down in a book--the result is 'The Mystical City of God,' acclaimed by Popes, cardinals and theologians, a book which has inspired the laity and the clergy for over 300 years and which has gone into sixty editions in various languages.
"More than just the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this book also contains information about the creation of the world, the meaning of the 'Apocalypse,' Lucifer's rebellion, the location of Hell, the hidden life of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, intimate details about Our Lord's life, and many other enthralling topics.
"The translator, Father George J. Blatter, a Chicago priest, first read the book in German and was so impressed that he learned Spanish in order to make a proper translation into English. His first edition appeared in 1912, ten years after he had started work.
"The purpose of this popular abridgement is to bring to an even wider readership the sublime truths found in 'The Mystical City of God.'"
