Summary: Inspires One To Pray For The Dead
Comment: This illuminating interview of a simple Austrian woman, who God graced with the charism of communicating with souls from purgatory, will motivate you to have masses said, without delay, for your deceased relatives and friends as well as for those unfortunate souls in purgatory who have no one to pray for them. Maria Simma is a highly credible mystic, well known in her native country for finding the living relatives of souls who have appeared to her and implored her to have their relatives make reparations for the wrongs they have done. She has, in numerous instances, possessed information that no one in her capacity could have obtained, but from the decedent himself. It is a short read, but makes the important point that God is so holy that we must be perfectly purified to be in his Divine presence. Contrary to what one of the other reviewers stated, there are two types of pain in purgatory: the pain of separation from God; and the pain of sense (physical suffering). Make no mistake, it is a place of excruciating suffering. Almost all theologians teach that the souls in hell and the souls in purgatory suffer the action of the same fire. The same fire, says St. Gregory, torments the damned and purifies the elect. In my opinion, the quintessential book on purgatory is "Purgatory", by the 19th century French theologian, Fr. F.X. Shouppe, S.J. Amazon sells it. Thank you.

Summary: Gripping reading - none of us could put it down!
Comment: Sr. Emmanuel NEVER disappoints - this is a lovely, unaffected book that tells a beautiful message. We all know someone in Purgatory - maybe someday we'll have an address there ourselves! Maria Simms gives her information and thoughts in a simple and direct manner. The book is written in conversational style and is so easy to read that you feel you are there. Even small children will pick up on the points in an instant and without scaring the wits out of them.
I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS HIGHLY ENOUGH AND NO READER WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.
I would also recommend Medjugorje - the 90's to you - also by Sr. Emmanuel. Another inspired book that gives you a feeling of being treasured by Heaven long after you have finished it.

Summary: Purgatory is on the way to Heaven
Comment: This is a remarkable little book that grabs your attention and holds on to it. This simple peasant woman, Maria Simms in one, two and three syllable words presents a picture of Purgatory that is enlighting and comforting without being overly intimidating and frightening. That's quite a feat rarely achieved by the most educated among us. Maria's natural honesty is apparent from page one and inspires trust in the stories she relates about the poor souls in Purgatory.
Without cheap theatrics Maria conveys the reality and the necessity of Purgatory. She leaves no doubt that it is a place that you will not want to stay in, but at the same time you realize it is a place that you are glad exist because it gives you hope and the assurance that you will one day be in Heaven. People don't leave Purgatory to go on to Hell....the destination is Heaven.
It's a good read. You won't be sorry for buying this book.
