Tan Books & Publishers Inc. Saints Who Raised the Dead by Fr Albert J Hebert Albert J Hebert
The raising of the dead is a miracle which astonishing as it is has been performed hundreds of times since the days of Christ. Our Lord told His Apostles to raise the dead (Matt. 10:8) and over the Christian centuries many Saints have done soparticularly great missionaries like St. Francis Xavier St. Patrick St. Vincent Ferrer St. Hyacinth and St. Louis Bertrand but also a multitude of other Saints including St. John Bosco St. Philip Neri St. Catherine of Siena St. Francis of Paola St. Teresa of Avila St. Bernard of Clairvaux St. Malachy St. Elizabeth of Hungary St. Joan of Arc St. Rose of Lima and Blessed Margaret of Castello. The stories of these resurrection miracles are amazing; they include the raising of persons who had drowned of persons with mutilated bodies of persons who had been hanged and of those whose bodies had already suffered decay been reduced to skeletons or been buried for several years. They include young children unbaptized infants persons executed for crimes person raised to testify in criminal cases or to testify to some religious truth and of persons who would have been condemned to Hell had they not been called back to earth for another chance. Also included herein are the descriptions of Heaven Hell and Purgatory given by temporarily dead persons (Continued on inside back cover) who had been privileged to see those regions. Moreover this book gives an analysis of the authenticity of resurrection miracles (Did they really happen? Were the dead persons really dead?) and of the purpose and meaning of miracles according to the teaching of the Churchplus it describes other bodily wonders of the Catholic Saints such as levitation bilocation total abstinence from natural food and drink crossing of rivers on a cloak and miraculous survival in intense heat. Also included are proofs for the Resurrection of Our Lord the Catholic doctrine on the resurrection of the body and the Last Judgment (with its final separation of the damned from the elect) and a critique of contemporary post clinicaldeath experiences in the light of Catholic teaching. This is a book unique in the Englishspeaking world for even in Catholic circles these accounts of resurrection miracles have for the most part remained buried in old books rare and hard to find today. Father Hebert has indeed performed a great service to the Church in unearthing these facts and bringing them to light. Packed with fascinating true stories and solid Catholic doctrine Saints Who Raised the Dead is a goldmine of information and of inspirationshowing forth the glory of God and His holy Church and providing a preview of those momentous events which everyone who has ever lived will take part in at the End of the World. Why should it be thought a thing incredible that God should raise the dead? Acts 26:8show more
