***Story of Therese Neumann***
"When the Spirit of truth comes,... He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you." - John 16
The Holy Spirit always glorifies and puts the spotlight on the Son - not some man (or woman)and their gifts and abilities.
Many of the items listed are abilities possessed in occult, spiritist and mediumistic circles especially:
extraordinary visions of Gospel (i.e. historical) eventsincluding architecture, dress, manners, even language. What one expert testified about her detailed knowledge of the temple in Jerusalem
Linguists confirm her accurate use, during her visions, of Aramaic and other foreign languages she had never learned
Her other giftsincluding bilocation, discernment of relics, seeing her guardian angel and others seeing into past and future
I haven't read the book, but I'm sorry, based on what you've posted this just creeps me out.

Although the Indian author obviously rejected her message and focused on HER as a phenomenon, it should be obvious that the works done through her are to testify to Christian truths. Throughout Acts, we are taught of the many deeds and signs that were worked through the apostles. The same Holy Spirit that worked through them continues to work in the world today.
