Prisoners of the King

Being a traditional Roman Catholic, I'm always thrilled to find good, solid, traditional books written before Vatican II. For me, this was a new one, which contains solid, old-fashioned Catholic truths. The author utilizes passages from the Bible to illustrate various facets of purgatory. This was a totally new concept for me, which I had never considered. This book is so unique that I bought this copy for a priest to help give him sermon ideas.
