Review from the Publisher

408 Pp. PB. One of the most powerful and compelling spiritual books ever written. Expounding on the theme, "what doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his own soul," St. Alphonsus dwells repeatedly on the four last things--Death, Judgement, Heaven, and Hell. Relentlessly, he brings the reader to considering his own eternal destiny, weaving in proofs and stories exemplifying every concievable aspect of man's tenuous grasp on this mortal life. No one can read these sermons without being profoundly moved, without turning from evil to good, or without turning from virtue to even greater virtue. It is impossible to imagine even the most hardened soul could resist the relentless logic this marvelous Doctor of the Church martials up on every page. Here is St. Alphonsus at his very best!
