Download or read book Go to Heaven written by Fulton J. Sheen and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it, asks Bishop Fulton Sheen, that one hears so often the expression "Go to hell!" and almost never the expression "Go to heaven!" Here, at his most penetrating, challenging, and illuminating best is Bishop Sheen with his answer, in a book that breathes new meaning into the truths about heaven and hell, and new life into the concepts of faith, tolerance, love, prayer, suffering, and death. Beginning with "The First Faint Summons to Heaven," Sheen shows how unpopular it is today to be a true Christian, and describes the struggle for living our faith amid the disorders of our times. Keenly aware of evil in the myriad forms it takes in today's world, Bishop Sheen writes about the constant battle man faces with the "seven pallbearers of character" - pride, avarice, envy, lust, anger, gluttony and sloth - linking them with the corrosive forces that never cease in their attacks on the Church and those who earnestly desire to be serious Christians. In Go to Heaven, a great spiritual teacher and writer, deeply aware of the human and spiritual conflicts being waged in the world, shows us the way to heaven in a most eloquent book, encouraging the reader to choose heaven now, and to understand the "reality of hell."

Download or read book The Four Roads to Heaven written by Edwin Mullins and published by Interlink Books. This book was released on 2018-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?THERE ARE FOUR ROADS LEADING TO SANTIAGO, WHICH COMBINE TO FORM A SINGLE ROAD? -- So begins The Pilgrim?s Guide, the world?s first guidebook. Written early in the twelfth century by Benedictine monks, it served travelers taking part in the great pilgrimage of the Middle Ages, to the tomb of the apostle St. James, the cousin of Christ, at Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain. The four roads are all in France: from Paris in the north; from V�zelay in Burgundy; from Le Puy-en-Velay in the Massif Central; and from Arles in Provence?all threading their way across the country before joining as a single road in northern Spain. A step-by-step account of these four journeys through medieval France, the Guide?s aim was to explain to pilgrims the religious sites they would see on their way to Santiago, but it also offered advice on where to stay, what to eat and drink, and how to avoid dishonest innkeepers and murderous boatmen. Edwin Mullins follows the same four roads as they exist today in the footsteps of those medieval travelers. He explores the magnificent churches, abbeys, and works of art which are the proud legacy of the pilgrimage, as well as reconstructing a turbulent period of history that encompassed wars, crusades, and the re-conquest of Spain. Many of the buildings and landmarks that sprang up along the pilgrim routes still stand there today, and The Four Roads to Heaven brings to life their historical, architectural, and spiritual significance. From imposing Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals to humble pilgrims? hospices, this book looks at the living legacy of one of the great social phenomena of the Middle Ages?the pilgrimage to Santiago. Richly illustrated with Adam Woolfitt?s color photographs, The Four Roads to Heaven offers an invaluable guide?nine hundred years after its predecessor?to the paths still trodden by increasing numbers of pilgrims.

Download or read book Heaven to Gain and Hell to Shun written by Doreen Rose and published by Pageturner, Press and Media. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To have this published is nothing short of a miracle. In 1997 Rev. Phil West recalled a phrase "There's a heaven to gain and a hell to shun". That ended up as a 9-month series at the Highfields Baptist Church, with people filling the church to listen be challenged. I suggested that it go into print. As the topic covered the entire Bible, I brilliantly suggested that each book be briefly outlined. However I was too long-winded and verbose, so we abandoned the idea. Two years later (1999) I found the material and not telling Phil, but with much more wisdom, I actually completed the book even down to the contents pages, and put it aside. Life became hectic, work was full-on, I built a home, 11 years later sold it to buy a farm, changed computers and programmes at least 3 times, and finally moved to a retirement village. In November 2019 I came across a strange disc and to my utter amazement, here was the book of 1999. In trepidation I read it. Mmm, not too bad. Phil agreed and with some minor alterations, Page Turner accepted it. It presents as clearly as possible, the choice every human being has to make. Please don't delay. The facts are not exaggerated and do understand the results of that choice. All previous Biblical predictions have taken place and these last days will obviously do likewise.
