Hungry Souls

I thought that I would be happy just to make it to Purgatory but after reading Hungry Souls I’ve changed my mind. In this book I learned that Purgatory is a place of great suffering and not some smokey waiting room. How sin and bad habits disfigures the soul. How a haunting is just a poor soul trying to get our attention and how we abandon our dearly departed by forgetting to pray for them. The book is easy to read, and the Notes section is also a must read with each Chapter as you will find more information. If you don't know much about Purgatory this book is a good start.

I give this book only four stars because the initial chapters deal a little too much with over-enthusiastically promoting a grim image of Purgatory. For an understanding of the place and the theology of Purgatory, I would recommend 30 Days for the Holy Souls. Where this book does excel, however, is relating the items (and the stories associated with them) that can be found in the Vatican's museum on Purgatory. It is fascinating, and definitely saves a trip overseas! Skip to the stories and this book is definitely worth a read!

A very enlightening read. It certainly brings to light the importance of praying for the souls in purgatory.

Excellent - I enjoyed reading the book

I am giving Hungry Souls 5 stars, but it really deserves many more times 5 stars!

This is such a lovely book! It isn't a book to be rushed through, but rather savored and enjoyed. I have great love for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, and this book is guaranteed to increase love and devotion for these dear ones in their frightful sufferings. I especially loved the photos of the Purgatory Museum in the Church of the Sacred Heart of Suffrage.

Thank you for making this book available!

This book discusses several messages and, more importantly, warnings from purgatory. It is interesting reading to say the least, and I have a hard time putting it down once I pick it up to read. The accounts of supernatural visits from purgatory and the explanations offered opened a whole new worldview of purgatory for me. If you are interested in exploring purgatory from a different perspective than most laypersons in the Catholic Church have been taught, check it out. I am more motivated than ever to pray for the souls in purgatory, and it increased my faith that my prayers are useful to the souls in purgatory tenfold.

Steve, did Not Read The BOOK Yet I Belive Its A Nice Book The Poor People In Purgatory But Way Are There And How Come And Who Is In Purgatory ? With Names: In The BOOK. OK. Sent Out Time: 12:20pm

INFORMATIVE AND INTERESTING READ.

This is an engaging yet sobering book that should motivate you to start praying for the souls of the faithfully departed.

I think in today’s Church, people have a much brighter view of what Purgatory actually is. We have glossed over it to the point where it seems almost like a waiting room for heaven. I must admit, I had heard of the museum spoke of in the book before but never really researched it and it is fascinating. This book is a great read that will change your idea of Purgatory for the better.
