Product Description

Mel Gibson has based his movie, "The Passion" on this book!

Faithful to the Bible story of the Passion and death of Jesus, it fills in many details and is edifying and inspiring beyond belief; plus, it is surprising and heart-rending. It will melt a heart of stone. This book is the best on the Passion we have seen. It is also wonderful on the Blessed Mother's role in our redemption. Includes a short biography of Sr. Emmerich. A great, great book for the whole family! The audio version is read by Roger Basick.

Sister Emmerich's account of the Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ, while faithful to the Bible, is heart-rending, edifying and surprising-because of its intimate detail. Based on the visions of this great mystic, The Dolorous Passion recounts in incredible detail the horrendous sufferings undergone by our Saviour in His (it would seem) superhumanly heroic act of Redemption. The Dolorous Passion is a singular book that conveys a lasting impression of the terrible agony of Our Lord's sufferings for us.

Available as the book or MP3 Audio CD

The MP3 Audio CD is a professionally read audio book with over 11 hours of listening time. Includes the 54 page life sketch of Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich, written by Clemens Brentano, the famous German poet and literary man who copied down her visions.

This MP3 audiobook will only play on CD and DVD players with the ability to play this format. It will also play on nearly all personal computers that have CD and audio capabilities.
