End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life

"Reading this book was one of the
greatest graces of my life!"
â€” St. ThÃ©rÃ¨se of Lisieux

Itâ€™s one of those books that come out of nowhere â€” almost literally â€” just when the world needs it most.

Is it all correct â€” what it reveals about the future, both for the world and the soul? From the vantage point of earth, who can say? It is written by a human.

But a great saint â€” ThÃ©rÃ¨se of Lisieux â€” was so taken by this book that it spurred her entry into the convent. â€œReading this book was one of the greatest graces of my life,â€ she says in her autobiography. â€œThe impression I received from it is too sweet to express. All the great truths of religion and the mysteries of eternity plunged into my soul a happiness not of this earth.â€

Completed in 1881 by an aged French priest, this remarkable book surfaced long enough to draw ThÃ©rÃ¨se into the convent and then, for more than a century, plunged back into obscurity.

Now we offer you the very first English translation of this hope-filled, chilling work.

In it, Fr. Arminjon gets right to the point: â€œThe end of the world, Christ says, will come when the human race, sunk in the depths of indifference, is far from thinking about punishment and justice. It will be as in the days of Noah, when men lived without a care, built luxurious homes, and mocked Noah as he built his ark.â€

â€œCivilization will be at its zenith, markets overflowing with money, and stocks will never have been higher. Mankind, wallowing in unprecedented material prosperity, will have ceased to hope for heaven. Crudely attached to pleasures, man will say â€˜My soul, you have goods to last for many years. Eat, drink and be merry.â€™ â€

Doesnâ€™t that sound eerily like America just a year or so ago?

Fr. Arminjon insists that we â€œsteer clear of every perilous opinion and make no assertion that is not justified by Tradition and the doctrine of the Fathers.â€ Yet itâ€™s precisely his sober reliance on Scripture and Tradition that makes this book so convincing . . . and so chilling!

But Fr. Arminjon doesnâ€™t merely sketch the darkness ahead; he also shows how Jesus will fill that darkness with light; and he details the rich bounty Christ has in store for all who stay faithful.

Thatâ€™s what caught ThÃ©rÃ¨se up in such fervent love of God, nourished her impatience for Heaven, and confirmed her decision to choose a life wholly consecrated to Divine Love.

The End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life: let it show you how to read the signs of the times and prepare you to bear yourself as a Christian (as it did ThÃ©rÃ¨se) . . . no matter what the future holds!
