Linda Collins I don’t hunk that book is legitimate for various reasons. Please see this article: www.google.com.hk/amp/s/sacredheartsoldier.wordpress.com/2017/06/18/the-satanic-poem-of-the-man-god/amp/

That poem of the man God was rejected by the Church.The article from L'Osservatore Romano, January 6, 1960 including the "decree of condemnation" can be seen on the Maria-Valtorta site. Two paragraph from the L'Osservatore Romano article says: "The Work, therefore, would have deserved a condemnation even if it were only considered a romance novel, if for nothing else, for reasons of irreverence. [12] .......... But in reality, the author has greater pretensions. Skimming through the volumes, here and there one reads the words "Jesus says...," "Mary says...; " or also: "I see..." and the like. And then, towards the end of the IV volume (page 839) the author reveals himself as... an authoress, named Maria (Valtorta), and writes that she is a witness of the entire messianic period. These words remind us that, about ten years ago, several voluminous typescripts that contained purported visions and revelations were in circulation. It was then that the competent Ecclesiastical Authority had prohibited the publishing of these typescripts and ordered that they be withdrawn from circulation. Now we see them reproduced virtually wholesale in this current Work. Therefore, this public condemnation of the Supreme Holy Congregation is all the more appropriate, for reasons of serious disobedience. [13]" maria-valtorta.net/letter_condemnation.html

Yes, this is the book that brought me closer and to a intimate relationship with God

That is absolutely not true. There are Carmelites who live this way but they are in the minority.
