Praying with the Saints for the Holy Souls in Purgatory Paperback – Illustrated, September 9, 2009

At least this book written about the Holy Souls in Purgatory is not as scary as the other book, "Purgatory Explained." The reason I gave the other book only 3 stars was it was hard to handle with what was written. There must have been a more gentle way.However, this book, "Praying with the Saints for the Holy Souls in Purgatory" was more gentle in expressing the truth and telling things as they are. There are prayers in the book also that we can say. It is very informative. It also gives ways we can pray for the souls in purgatory and also sacrifices we can offer up for their souls. There are souls that have been waiting to get to Heaven for centuries...forgotten souls who only need someone to offer prayers for them. The souls cannot pray for themselves. They depend upon our prayers. They can pray for us though and do.Some would rather not believe that there is a purgatory and that everyone goes straight to Heaven because Christ died on the cross for our sins. These two books say otherwise, as do many saints who have witnessed Purgatory and Hell as well as seen visions of Heaven when they were alive. They wrote of these visions.

If you want to know more about purgatory and be able to pray well for those who are purifying there, this book is a must! Easy to read and explained so well.

This book is so inspirational. After we read it we bought more to give as Christmas gifts to our children. Every Catholic should have a copy of this and read it periodically to remind us of the need to pray for the Poor Souls in Purgatory. These Souls are forever grateful for our prayers and will pay us back a thousand fold. They can't help themselves but they can and do help all who pray for them.

I can't believe Susan packed so much into this inspirational book. It covers everything you want to know about Purgatory, and the fact that the book has an Imprimatur assures that it does not deviate from Church teachings. Susan uses Scripture, the Catechism, quotes of the saints and the popes to support her writing. The stories of the saints are fascinating. I could hardly put it down. I loved the analogies and personal anecdotes she used to help us understand better and the humor she sprinkled in places. What I also liked were the practical suggestions of things to do (novenas.devotions, etc.) to help the holy souls and ourselves as well. The beautiful original artwork on the cover is a perfect picture of what is inside the book. It instructs and inspires. This is Susan's best yet!June Klins

Loved this book. Lots of new(to me) information and so nice that you can pick it up and read a bit and put down while thinking about it.

This book was very interesting and I have a few things i didn't know before. This was a good read book.

This book exceeded my expectations! You can open the book anywhere and receive a one page uplifting thought/action for the day. Susan blended the concept of the Holy Souls, the Saints and we, the Church Militant together with an easy to understand format. An unexpected surprise, was the mention, more than once, of our need for priests - who are the lifeline through the Masses we offer for our deceased loved ones.

This is a good book, easy to read and understand. I have had an devotion for the Souls in Purgatory for over 10 years now. So I'm always looking for a new book on the subject. I do own all of Susan Tassone's books. this is not her best but very informative. My personal collection on books on purgatoy is large. so when ever there are new books out I survey the book and author as well. I like Susan's way of writing and her devotion to the souls. so susan I'm looking foreward to her next book.

Excellent book, loved it, highly recommended!

excellent book, as a lover of The Holy Souls in Purgatory I am delighted with the contents and it has enhanced greater prayer direction for me.

Very insightful book. Susan Tassone helps the reader to understand the powers our daily prayers have in helping to release the suffering souls from purgatory. She explains so well the necessity of purgatory and God's love for us in creating it. An extremely well written book everyone should read

I am recommending this book.

Susan has written another beautiful book!
