The Prisoners of the King

Questions or concerns about Purgatory? This century-old sourcebook covers the topic more authoritatively than any other. Purgatory is denied by Protestants, and downplayed by many modern churchmen. Accurate knowledge about it can be difficult to come by. Belief in it is all but extinct. That's why the re-publication of this 1889 masterwork by H.J. Coleridge, SJ, is so timely and necessary. At once a work of apologetics, catechesis and spirituality, it successfully defends the doctrine of Purgatory against critics, answers all the common questions, and draws out the implications for you -- and for those who depend on your intercessory prayers. As Fr. Coleridge explains: the more we know about Purgatory, the more we shall fear it, and the more store we shall set by anything that can deliver us from its pains.
