In 1861, children and young persons were buying this eschatological pamphlet on the subject of hell. It's purpose was to cause the conscience of little ones to shudder. Today, most adults could not get through the short read without gasping in astonishment or fidgeting in their seat. If the reality of hell is elusive to you, and you need your conscience pricked, this short read (originally meant for children) will set you back on the straight and narrow. Fr. John Furniss draws inspiration from scripture and visions of saints, while tying the reader's sight of hell together, using his own vivid imagery.

In an age where man has grown numb and indifferent to eternity, this text acts as a dial, so that one may increase the volume of their conscience. Listen closely.
