The Truth about Hell: Through the Wisdom of Jesus, Mary, and the Magisterium

by Patrick O'Hearn, Dan Burke

Religious leaders do not teach about Hell to scare people to come to Church, though the fear of Hell often leads souls to turn back to God. Hell is the result of mankind’s free will, not God’s malice. French novelist Léon Bloy “The only real sadness, the only real failure, the only great tragedy in life, is not to become a saint.” Since only saints are in Heaven, the greatest tragedy, then, is to go to Hell.

In this gripping listen, Dan Burke and Patrick O’Hearn present the most common reasons souls go to Hell (you will be shocked!) and how to change your life to ensure that you’re striving for Heaven. At the moment of death, you will experience a particular judgment by God and be sent to either Heaven, Purgatory, or Hell. Your mission in this life, therefore, is to pray, live, and help others to receive the mercy and salvation that God is offering so that you may attain eternity with Him in Paradise.

Twelve things Jesus said about Hell, and other Bible passages about this tormenting place How the evil one tempts souls to doubt the existence of Hell and the possibility of damnation The Church’s teachings on Hell, and the understanding of several Doctors of the Church about it Mystical experiences of the saints regarding Hell, and revelations in Marian apparitions Five ways to turn away from Satan and open your heart to God’s mercy Prayers, spiritual resources, and thought-provoking reflection questions for personal or group use Jesus has prepared a place in His Father’s house for His true sons and daughters, but He forces no one to come. Instead, many have and will continue to choose Satan’s horror house, a place of never-ending torture, pain, remorse, and anguish from being separated from God for eternity—a place that can be our final destination if we do not repent and embrace the love and redemption offered by our Savior.

Concise, motivating, and helpful!

[Rebecca Tabish · Rating 5 out of 5]

While the topic of hell isn't exactly encouraging to read in this time of year during Lent, I found this book to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The authors Patrick O'Hearn and Dan Burke gives the reader an insight on the stark reality of hell by compiling what the Saints have said about it, what Jesus Himself has said about it through Sacred Scripture and what The Bride of Christ The Church has said about it. Overall, I definitely recommend this book for those who want to have a better understanding of just how real hell is and to avoid going there.

[John Sipes · Rating 4 out of 5]

A wonderful insight into the truth about hell is how it is honest and helps you to truly fear God. It helps to answer the question from my favorite bible verse Psalms 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear”

P.S. the book may tempt you to fear hell, but reflection has led me to the answer within that verse which is God is the only one I should truly fear as he is who condemns me to Heaven, purgatory or hell in the moment of judgement upon death.
