Drawn from the monumental four-volume masterpiece of Venerable Mary of Agreda, this single-volume edition offers readers the most captivating portions of her mystical visions concerning the Blessed Virgin Mary, the hidden life of Jesus Christ, and the unfolding drama of salvation history.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">Filled with vivid contemplative detail, this abridgment explores the creation of the world, the rebellion of Lucifer, the ministry of the holy angels, the hidden years of Christ and His Blessed Mother, and the mysteries surrounding the Apocalypse. While the Church regards private revelations as aids to devotion rather than additions to Divine Revelation, generations of Catholics have turned to this classic to deepen their meditation on Scripture, grow in love for Our Lady, and contemplate God's providential plan with renewed wonder.</p>\n<div style=\"background: #fdfcf0; border: 1px solid #d4af37; padding: 1.25rem; margin: 1.5rem 0; border-radius: 4px;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.1rem; color: #870000; margin-bottom: 0.5rem;\"><strong>What This Book Offers:</strong></p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 1.25rem; font-size: 1.05rem; line-height: 1.5;\">\n<li><strong>A Classic Made Accessible:</strong> An abridged edition of the renowned four-volume masterpiece in a single readable volume.</li>\n<li><strong>Marian Contemplation:</strong> Rich meditations on the life, virtues, and mission of the Blessed Virgin Mary.</li>\n<li><strong>Hidden Life of Christ:</strong> Spiritual reflections on the earthly life of Jesus beyond the Gospel narratives.</li>\n<li><strong>Heavenly Mysteries:</strong> Insightful devotional accounts of creation, angels, demons, the Apocalypse, and God's providential plan.</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n<ul style=\"margin: 1.5rem 0; padding-left: 1.25rem; font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">\n<li><strong>Deepen Marian Devotion:</strong> Grow in love for the Mother of God through prayerful contemplation of her life.</li>\n<li><strong>Enter Salvation History:</strong> Reflect more deeply on God's work from creation through redemption.</li>\n<li><strong>Strengthen Your Prayer Life:</strong> Use the author's mystical reflections as an aid to meditation and devotion.</li>\n<li><strong>Encounter Catholic Mysticism:</strong> Discover one of the Church's most influential devotional classics in an approachable format.</li>\n<li><strong>Contemplate Eternal Realities:</strong> Reflect on heaven, angels, spiritual warfare, and God's divine providence.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">From the Tradition</h3>\n<blockquote style=\"font-style: italic; border-left: 4px solid #E2E2E2; background: #fafafa; padding: 1rem; font-size: 1.15rem; margin: 1rem 0;\">This beloved spiritual classic invites readers to contemplate the mysteries of Christ and His Blessed Mother with greater reverence, wonder, and love, always in harmony with the Church's understanding that private revelation serves devotion rather than adding to the deposit of faith.</blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">Intended Audience</h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">This volume is ideal for Catholics devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary, readers interested in Catholic mystical spirituality, and anyone seeking a more contemplative understanding of salvation history. It is especially well suited for those who have wanted to experience <em>The Mystical City of God</em> but prefer a more approachable single-volume edition.</p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">FAQs</h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>Is this the complete four-volume work?</strong><br />No. This edition is a carefully prepared abridgment that gathers the most significant and spiritually enriching portions of the original into a single volume.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>Should this be read as history?</strong><br />No. The Church regards Venerable Mary of Agreda's visions as private revelation intended to foster devotion and meditation rather than to supplement Sacred Scripture or provide definitive historical accounts.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>Is this book suitable for prayer and meditation?</strong><br />Yes. Many readers use this work as a devotional companion to deepen their contemplation of Christ, Our Lady, and the mysteries of salvation.</p>\n<div style=\"background: #fafafa; border: 1px solid #E2E2E2; padding: 1.5rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.25rem; margin: 0 0 .5rem;\">Key Themes</h3>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 1.25rem; font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.5;\">\n<li><strong>The Blessed Virgin Mary:</strong> Her life, virtues, and unique role in salvation history.</li>\n<li><strong>The Hidden Life of Christ:</strong> Prayerful contemplation of Our Lord's earthly life.</li>\n<li><strong>Heavenly Mysteries:</strong> Creation, angels, demons, and the unseen spiritual world.</li>\n<li><strong>Contemplative Devotion:</strong> Growing closer to Christ through meditation rooted in Catholic mystical tradition.</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n</section>","show_backorder_message":false,"tags":[],"warranty":"","price":{"without_tax":{"formatted":"$19.77","value":19.77,"currency":"USD"},"tax_label":"Tax","sale_price_without_tax":{"formatted":"$19.77","value":19.77,"currency":"USD"},"non_sale_price_without_tax":{"formatted":"$32.95","value":32.95,"currency":"USD"}},"detail_messages":"","availability":"","page_title":"The Mystical City of God : A Popular Abridgment | TAN Books","default_shipping_expectation_prompt":"","height":"8.50","cart_url":"https://tanbooks.com/cart.php","show_backorder_availability_prompt":false,"max_purchase_quantity":0,"show_quantity_on_hand":false,"show_default_shipping_expectation_prompt":false,"show_quantity_on_backorder":false,"mpn":null,"upc":"9780895550705","options":[{"id":5311,"type":"Configurable_PickList_Set","display_name":"Format","required":true,"state":"variant_option","partial":"set-rectangle","condition":true,"values":[{"id":10513,"label":"Paperbound","selected":true,"data":"Paperbound"},{"id":10514,"label":"eBook","selected":false,"data":"eBook"}]}],"related_products":[{"id":2103,"sku":"TE9060","name":"The Mystical City of God (eBook)","url":"https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-mystical-city-of-god-ebook/","availability":"","rating":0,"brand":null,"category":["Books","Books/Topic/Theological Tradition","eBooks"],"summary":"Discover the profound wisdom of divine spirituality with 'The Mystical City of God,' an exceptional eBook that transcends the ordinary experience of faith and understanding.
