Death Confounded! True Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781945275654)

London, 1840's, the time of Charles Dickens and the Irish Potato Famine, yet a time of spectacular faith. The stories in this book are from the diary of a priest who witnessed these things personally 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 sees the real power and comfort provided by Jesus through the Church in the Last Sacraments: Confession and Extreme Unction, with the Apostolic Blessing. You also encounter you 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.

Includes an appendix on how to help the dying.
