Few things in this earthly life are absolutely certain, but the most undebatable of these is death. Every person, even the atheist, will admit that death is certain. Death, however, is not the last event in this life of ours. Immediately after death, we shall be judged and then again on the Day of Judgment when all humanity will know us for what we are.
In these pages, Fr. Wade Menezes, EWTN television host and Assistant General of the Fathers of Mercy, shows us that God has not called us to His wrath, but to salvation.

Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell these are the Four Last Things toward which we are moving each hour of the day and night. Read this book, and you’ll have a firm grasp of one of the most important doctrines of Holy Mother Church that holds the truths of Heaven and our own salvation.
Reviews
“In The Four Last Things Father Wade Menezes offers a wonderful guide to help us gauge our preparation for eternal life with God. Well researched and concisely written, his book is a must-read on a topic too often avoided by too many. No one will escape death, but all will benefit immensely in preparing for it by reading and meditating on the messages of Father Menezes excellent book.”
Most Rev. Robert J. Baker, S.T.D.
Bishop of Birmingham, AL“By reminding us of the Four Last Things, Fr. Menezes summons us to hope for the ultimate good of spending eternity with God and reminds us of a proper fear to avoid condemnation in hell. He urges us to live this life with that love of God and neighbor that prepares us for eternal life of love, and to avoid all hatred, that would only prepare us for the isolating hatred in hell. Contemporary culture entertains itself with immortality if it includes hideous devouring zombies or beautiful blood-sucking vampires. Fr. Menezes calls us to the beauty of immortality in the image and likeness of God.”
Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ“We all wonder what will come when we draw our last breath of life, and in this profoundly important book Father Wade Menezes draws back the veil of mystery to give us insight and instruction about the ultimate final four death, judgment, heaven, hell. With skill and precision, he weaves together Sacred Scripture, Church teaching, and the wisdom of the saints to encourage us to strive for the ultimate prize life on high in Christ Jesus for all eternity. Concise and straightforward, this book filled me with hope and joyful anticipation of what is to come! May it do the same for you!”
