Death Confounded - Or Not
London, 1840's, the time of Charles Dickens and the Irish Potato Famine, yet a time of spectacular faith - spectacular when compared with the anemic faith of moderns of the 21st century. The stories in this book are from the diary of a priest who witnessed these things first hand and put them to pen. They are incredible dramas, testimony to the capacity of the human spirit for fervid and unbreakable love in God, even in the most desperate conditions. In the unfolding of these narratives, one also sees the real power and comfort provided to those in most need by Jesus through His Church and Priests, in the infusions of divine grace given through the Last Sacraments: Confession and Extreme Unction, with the Apostolic Blessing, which moderns of the present century almost entirely neglect, to the lasting detriment of many souls for whom Christ shed his Precious Blood unto death. In these stories you see first-hand examples of the invisible spiritual battle that transpires for a soul on the edge of entering eternity, when the Enemy knows it is his last chance to snatch it for himself or lose that soul forever.
These are true stories of persons saved from the brink of eternal death - or not.
