Best book after the bible
I bought this series in 1978. It is an old book, old bind, but the content is awesome. NO catholics, even priests, could understand who Mary is until you read these books. It is mystical and it shows how God saved mankind through Mary after Adam and Eve sinned. Without her there is no salvation. She is Divine, out of the touch of sin, and only through her immaculate conception was she able to bear and bring Jesus to us. She is the Co Redemptrix in every sense. I read this and the abridged version again and again. once you read these books, you will have a clear understanding who Mary is and your respect for her will be different, like Heaven and Earth. As an electronics engineer is used logic to test it again and again and only in these book and the Life of the Virgin Mary (Anne Cartherimne Emmerich) one can have a complete picture who Mary is. Highly recommended for logical Non Catholics too.

Best series of books I’ve ever read!
Listened to the Mystical City of God podcast first time around without the books. Enjoyed it but definitely felt like I wasn’t as engaged so decided to purchase the set while listening to the podcast for the 2nd time. Much more enjoyable experience and look forward to finishing all 4 books with Father Looney narrating.

The Mystical City of God
This should be required reading, only after the Bible, for every Catholic. A beautiful collection that not only adorns any bookshelf but can be read yearly. It reads better than any classic novel, every page is captivating and full of richness that makes the Bible even more vibrant. I look forward to reading a chapter everyday !

Mystical City of God
Have read these while on winter vacation in AL at St. Thomas by the Sea Church library and longed to have my own copies, which your sale made available. However, was somewhat disappointed in the smaller size.

City of God 4 volume set.
I haven’t started to read yet, but if I’m not mistaken, when I bought them I thought someone was going to do a podcast of reading these volumes. Please let me know if this is true. Thankyou
