Wake up!
This book is amazing! My husband and I have shared the pics in it with our girls, friends and found youtube videos on the museum in Rome to pass the word. Why we didnt know about it? We didnt know how important it is for or Lord that we pray for the dead. That;s why we do in every Mass. God bless

Life changing.
I didnt take the call to pray for the holy souls as seriously as I should have until I read this. The stories are so moving.

Encourages prayers for the poor souls
Ive always loved learning and hearing stories about purgatory. From mystics and saints seeing purgatory and its levels to hearing stories of souls that are there and their warnings and prayers they need to get to heaven. This book will make you more aware of the souls that surround us and are longing for our prayers in the most simple ways. A sudden slammed door, a random creak in the stairs, an unexplainable phenomenon, I attribute to a soul trying to get my attention and I offer a prayer. This book is full of story after story that will leave you praying for the poor souls, praying for your loved ones, and motivation for us to live in a way that will help us get to heaven. I believe the more souls we help get out of purgatory the more saints we will have praying for us!!!
