Description
Why is it, asks Archbishop 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.
Go to Heaven shows us the way to eternal happiness, encouraging the reader to choose heaven now and to avoid the mistake of not taking the reality of hell as seriously as it deserves.
Sheen shows how unpopular it is to be a true Christian in the modern world, and he describes the struggle to live by the Catholic faith amid the disorders of our times. With both eloquence and simplicity, he writes about the battle we face with the “seven pallbearers of character” – pride, avarice, envy, lust, anger, gluttony and sloth – linking them with the corrosive forces that never cease to attack the Church and those who earnestly desire to follow Christ. If you want to be a serious Christian in today’s world, this classic will definitely help you.
