The Life and Revelations of Saint Gertrude the Great
The Revelations of St. Gertrude the Great form one of the classics of Catholic writing. And although they would have to be classified as mystical literature, their message is clear and obvious, for this book states many of the secrets of Heaven in terms that all can understand.
