Sin and Its Consequences

By Henry Edward Manning

Book Overview

Sin is never small, private, or inconsequential. In these uncompromising sermons, Cardinal Henry Edward Manning examines sin as Scripture and the Church understand it: a rupture in the soul that distorts reason, weakens the will, and darkens the path to God. With clarity and precision, he traces sin's effects through conscience, habit, judgment, and eternity itself. This is moral theology, Dear Reader, spoken with the urgency of a pastor--intended not to accuse, but to awaken. Manning writes for souls who desire truth more than comfort, and repentance more than reassurance. His words restore gravity to moral choice and illuminate the mercy that alone can heal what sin destroys. This book does not flatter modern sensibilities; it forms them, calling the reader to vigilance, humility, and conversion while there is still time to return

Excellent book on explaining mortal sin

This author is frank and to the point on explaining the damage of sin on our soul; especially mortal sins. Also explained is what a soul goes through if Hell is its destination.

A very sobering look at sin

This book is very helpful in understanding sin and the nature of it. Why even the "littlest" sins are not little at all, in the eyes of the Creator. Discusses Mortal and Venial sin and how that every time we sin, we are nailing up our Lord to the Cross once again. How every sin we commit we are also slowing killing, (if it is not already dead) our souls and pushing our Lord away from us. I recommend it to anyone who has trouble with a certain vice they are trying to overcome. This will indeed make you more aware of what ought to be done to save one's soul.
