Overview
What happens after you die? Most people hope that the Pearly Gates will glide open as they approach those heavenly mansions in the sky. Frankly, the alternative is just not that appealing: The word "hell" conjures up images of jabbing pitchforks, burning lakes of sulfur, and all the "bad guys" of history slowly turning over a devilish rotisserie. Or, if you're Catholic, there's purgatory, which you've heard is where the pretty-good-but-not-quite-there are sent until God thinks they're ready to come out and join the party.Our beliefs about what happens after death have a profound impact on how we live here and now. So it's important to get the "inside scoop" on what the Church teaches. Read all about it in You're One-Stop Guide to Heaven, Hell and Purgatory. You'll find answers to your questions like: Are heaven and hell real places, like Chicago? Does everyone go to purgatory? What is it? Do you have to be a Christian to get to heaven?
Whether you're a cradle Catholic or just curious about the "official" Church teaching on these matters, this practical handbook will give you straight answers about your final destination.
