The major work by Maria Valtorta, published in ten volumes, is The Gospel as revealed to me.
The Gospel as revealed to me
It narrates the birth and childhood of the Virgin Mary and her Son Jesus; the three years of Jesus’ public life (forming the largest section); his passion, death, resurrection, and ascension; the beginnings of the Church; and the assumption of Mary. In lofty literary style, the work describes landscapes, environments, people, and events with the vividness of graphic depiction. It presents characters and situations with introspective insight and sets forth moments of joy or drama with the feeling of someone really taking part in them. It provides information on the characteristics of settings, customs, rites, and cultures with convincing detail. By way of a gripping account of the Redeemer’s earthly life, especially through discourse and dialogue, the work sheds light upon the whole doctrine of Christianity in keeping with Catholic orthodoxy.
The greatly-revered Gabriele M. Allegra, who highly esteemed Valtorta’s work, wrote, “Gifts of nature and mystical gifts harmoniously joined together account for this masterpiece of Italian religious literature and—perhaps I should say—of Christian literature on a world level.”
The Gospel as revealed to me, a worldwide success of spiritual literature, is now available in English. It is an inspired work or, as some say, a “gospel” which neither replaces nor changes the Gospel, but rather narrates it, integrating and illuminating it, for the purpose of reviving in men’s hearts love for Christ and his Mother. The Gospel as revealed to me is a series consisting of ten volumes.

Kwa mtindo ulioboreshwa wa fasihi, kazi hii inaelezea mandhari, mazingira, watu, na matukio kwa uwazi wa uwakilishi wa picha.
Inawasilisha wahusika na hali kwa kujichunguza na inaelezea nyakati za furaha au tamthilia kwa hisia ya ushiriki wa kweli.
Inatoa ufahamu kuhusu sifa za mazingira, mila, ibada, na tamaduni kwa undani wa kuvutia.
Kupitia simulizi la kuvutia la maisha ya kidunia ya Mkombozi, hasa kupitia hotuba na mazungumzo, vitabu hivi vinaangazia mafundisho yote ya Ukristo sambamba na imani ya Kikatoliki.
Haipingani kamwe na Injili nne za kisheria; kinyume chake, inazithibitisha, kuzielezea na kuzifanya zieleweke kikamilifu.
Inafanya hivyo kiasili, ikisimulia maisha ya Yesu kidunia siku baada ya siku, ambapo hali, matukio, na hata hali zisizotarajiwa husababisha tabia hiyo kupitishwa na kupendekeza mafundisho ya kufundishwa, hivyo kuyafanya yawe na ufanisi, hai, na zaidi ya yote kwa wakati unaofaa.
