Godfrey Raupert\u003cbr\u003eIn an age of rationalistic thinking, Hell is often reduced to a mere concept or a cleverly devised myth — even by certain members of the Church. Contrary to this notion, the most learned theologians and philosophers throughout the centuries have affirmed the logic behind Hell’s existence. In this prescient and eye-opening classic, Fr. Raupert offers a careful, comprehensive explanation of the Catholic doctrine on Hell. You’ll learn what it is, why it exists, and how to avoid it — in compelling, understandable language.\u003cbr\u003eWhile some posit that the devil is merely a creature of man’s imagination, you will see what the Bible really teaches about the evil one and Hell and how this undergirds the mysteries of Redemption and Restoration. You will come to understand how “universalism,” or disbelief in Hell, is a slippery slope to a spectrum of other heretical views. In fact, denial of the possibility of Hell engenders a lukewarm Church that gradually comes to disregard her mission to lead all souls to Christ.\u003cbr\u003eYou will find answers to common arguments against eternal punishment and learn:\u003cbr\u003e• How modern science proves the existence of Hell\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Five ways ancient civilizations believed in the reality of Hell\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• What the “voice of nature” says about the possibility of damnation\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Modern objections and timeless replies from saints and scholars\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• What ultimately shapes and determines your character\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Why the inner battles we face point to the existence of principalities and powers\u003cbr\u003eMost significantly, you will discover how the denial of Hell’s existence creates a myopic view of God that ultimately wreaks chaos. You will read evidence of the demonic at work through occult practices and learn about diabolical manifestations and spiritual warfare in the lives of the saints.\u003cbr\u003eAs you gain a greater appreciation of the law of order at work in the moral universe, you will also perceive the one thing necessary for salvation and the hope to which you are called. You will see the urgency of converting now in order to ensure that you will enjoy eternal happiness in the hereafter.

I figured I would have a dozen or so so stories to write but to my amazement I soon realized I would have three times that number. \u003cbr\u003eAs before many are funny incidents, but mixed in as well are other stories that bring out, sometimes painfully, God's mysterious way of kicking our lives arse over kittle, so to speak. Sometimes we get glimpses of the why and how of things that God allows in our lives, yet others will never be revealed to us this side of eternity. Through all of life we must keep faith with God, trusting that He knows what is best for us over the long haul.

There are grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncle, nieces, nephews, great grandchildren and in-laws, a veritable rainbow of interlocking families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou may also be interested in Brother Charles Madden's book \u003ci\u003eGiving Up Stealing...for Lent!
