Review: Well-done presentation of Catholic end-times theology - A grandiloquent previous reviewer and the synopsis of the book point out the importance of this book to St. Therese, so I won't go into that here. I think it stands well enough on its own even despite its connection to the Little Flower. I would divide this book into three sections: first, it presents a Catholic end-times theology, and details the coming of the Antichrist, Resurrection of the Dead, and Last Judgment. Next, it discusses Purgatory, Heaven, and Hell. Finally, it discusses the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and suffering, which of course deal with this world but have consequences in the hereafter. The chapters of the book are actually conferences that Fr. Arminjon presented, and since they were initially delivered as speeches they are easy reading despite the wealth of information they contain. The translation is excellent. With the popularity of the Left Behind series and the importance of end-times theology to the Evangelical Protestant community, it's nice to have a presentation of Catholic eschatology. I've had a hard time finding a book that does what this one does--namely presenting what exactly will happen when the time comes for Christ to return. Catholics place less of an emphasis on this than Protestants, but it's still a part of our religion and needs to be understood. This book was written before the historical-critical interpretation of scripture became prevalent in the Catholic Church, and so prophesy is interpreted literally instead of being explained away as a metaphor only relevant to the ancient author. It's frightening, but living life with one eye fixed on the four last things will make anyone a better Christian.
Review: The End of the Present World & the Mysteries of the Future Life - I really enjoyed reading this book. I felt privileged to have been given the opportunity to read this book given that it was almost lost. The efforts of one lady, who was able to track down a copy of it and then get the subsequent translation complete, with others she collaborated with, took the best part of 20 years. We should all be thankful to them for the dedication they have shown in bringing this book back to life for a new generation of readers. St. Therese of Lisieux read this book when she was fourteen years old and she states that reading it was one of the greatest graces of her life. It is very well written and fairly easy to read. It comprises of nine chapters each dedicated to one of the nine conferences that were given by the French priest Charles Arminjon in the late nineteenth century. These helped his congregation to turn away from this life's mean material affairs and towards the next life's glorious spiritual rewards. The book provides insight into many aspects of the Catholic faith, which I found absorbing. I particularly enjoyed the second, fifth and ninth conferences. These three chapters covered · The Persecution by the Antichrist and the Conversion of the Jews · Purgatory · The Mystery of Suffering in its Relationship with the Future Life Overall this book is a true gem and contains wise and uncompromising words that will deepen your spirit of recollection that all Christians must have: the abiding conviction that heavenly aims, not temporal enthusiasms, must guide everything we think, say and do. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to deepen his or her knowledge of the Catholic faith.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best book on the End Times I've ever read.
*by J***N on April 18, 2024*

This book is an easy read, it's not loaded down with academic, scholarly terms that only serve put the reader to sleep. It's an easy read because it's written with a perfect flow of the events of the Apocalypse, what the Saints had to say about the end times over the centuries. Extremely informative and enlightening book, you will not regret buying it. By the way, this book was read by Saint Therese of LIseaux and she highly recommended it. She said it was the best book she'd ever read, (paraphrase).
