From the vantage point of earth, who can say? It is written by a human.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut a great saint - Thérèse of Lisieux - was so taken by this book that it spurred her entry into the convent. \"Reading this book was one of the greatest graces of my life,\" she says in her autobiography. \"The impression I received from it is too sweet to express. All the great truths of religion and the mysteries of eternity plunged into my soul a happiness not of this earth.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompleted in 1881 by an aged French priest, this remarkable book surfaced long enough to draw Thérèse into the convent and then, for more than a century, plunged back into obscurity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow we offer you the very first English translation of this hope-filled, chilling work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn it, Fr. Arminjon gets right to the point: \"The end of the world, Christ says, will come when the human race, sunk in the depths of indifference, is far from thinking about punishment and justice. It will be as in the days of Noah, when men lived without a care, built luxurious homes, and mocked Noah as he built his ark.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Civilization will be at its zenith, markets overflowing with money, and stocks will never have been higher. Mankind, wallowing in unprecedented material prosperity, will have ceased to hope for heaven. Crudely attached to pleasures, man will say 'My soul, you have goods to last for many years. Eat, drink and be merry.' \"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoesn't that sound eerily like America just a year or so ago?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFr. Arminjon insists that we \"steer clear of every perilous opinion and make no assertion that is not justified by Tradition and the doctrine of the Fathers.\" Yet it's precisely his sober reliance on Scripture and Tradition that makes this book so convincing . . . and so chilling!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut Fr. Arminjon doesn't merely sketch the darkness ahead; he also shows how Jesus will fill that darkness with light; and he details the rich bounty Christ has in store for all who stay faithful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's what caught Thérèse up in such fervent love of God, nourished her impatience for Heaven, and confirmed her decision to choose a life wholly consecrated to Divine Love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003elet it show you how to read the signs of the times and prepare you to bear yourself as a Christian (as it did Thérèse) . . . no matter what the future holds!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gb-container gb-container-a0127fd4 woo-endorsements-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gb-inside-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-d3e5fdc6 gb-headline-text cam-description-heading\"\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"endorsement-repeater-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"endorsement-repeater-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"endorsement-column-right\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"endorsement-text\"\u003eReading this book was one of the greatest graces of my life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"endorsement-source\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"endorser-name\"\u003eSt. Therese Of Lisieux\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"endorser-title\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woo-information-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"cam-description-heading\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes shop_attributes\" aria-label=\"Product Details\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 94.3752px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item woocommerce-product-attributes-item--attribute_pa_pages\" style=\"height: 35.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__label\" scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 42.8403%; height: 35.5938px;\"\u003ePages\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__value\" style=\"width: 53.6965%; height: 35.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e336\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item woocommerce-product-attributes-item--dimensions\" style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__label\" scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 42.8403%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__value\" data-o_content=\"N\/A\" style=\"width: 53.6965%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e8.5 × 5.5 × .8 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item woocommerce-product-attributes-item--weight\" style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__label\" scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 42.8403%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"woocommerce-product-attributes-item__value\" data-o_content=\"N\/A\" style=\"width: 53.6965%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e15 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sophia Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48330140516571,"sku":"1933184388","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2117\/2365\/files\/16759262403015-21044.jpg?v=1772902588","url":"https:\/\/catholicbookandgifts.com\/products\/the-end-of-the-present-world-and-the-mysteries-of-the-future-life","provider":"Catholic Book \u0026 Gift Store ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
