SynopsisTo many people, even many Christians, purgatory is a fantasy - or worse, a wicked lie invented by the Church to make salvation complicated and keep people in fear. But apologist Karlo Broussard says that purgatory is fact, not fiction. The Bible supports it, Christians have historically believed in it, and it makes theological sense. In Purgatory Is for Real, he provides the evidence and reasoning to help you understand this controversial doctrine, and demonstrates how it is actually a joyful, hopeful reality, not something shadowy and mysterious, but a sign of God's love and mercy., To some, the Catholic doctrine of purgatory is murky and mysterious-even scary. What is this shadowy state between earth and heaven supposed to be? Others wonder how it's even possible for saved souls to be suffering in the afterlife if Jesus has already redeemed them. No wonder that non-Christians imagine purgatory in sensationalistic ways, and Protestants condemn it as an "unbiblical tradition of men." In Purgatory Is for Real, Catholic apologist Karlo Broussard (Meeting the Protestant Challenge) definitively tackles this most-misunderstood teaching, giving you the evidence and arguments to see (and explain to others) that purgatory is neither contrary to Scripture nor some fantastical dogma that Rome invented. Rather, it is firmly rooted in biblical truth and the faith and practice of the earliest Christians. Even more importantly, Karlo shows that purgatory is not a cause for dread but a hopeful, even joyful sign of God's love for us. It is a great consolation, a call for all Christians to pursue deeper holiness, and an opportunity to build loving solidarity with those who have gone before us. Book jacket.
