Product information
  • St. Anselm describes the aspects of heaven
  • Answers and instructions for meditating on the joys of eternity
  • Teaches and invites you to detachment from the world
  • A book that will make you long for the glories of heaven

The great Doctor of the Church and Benedictine monk Saint Anselm has assembled one of the greatest books ever written on heaven. Relying on his profound insights from prayer and his deep love for Sacred Scripture, Anselm systematically describes various aspects of the happiness of heaven: the beauty of the bodies of the blessed, the velocity of the glorified bodies of the saints in heaven, the strength of the blessed, the pleasures of heaven, and much more.

At the same time, Saint Anselm does not shy away from the reality of hell and its unending torments. Nothing spurs the soul to repentance like the thought of being eternally separated from God. To obtain our celestial homeland, Saint Anselm instructs the reader to meditate daily on the day of judgment and the blessings of heaven.

Saint Anselm, who later became an archbishop of Canterbury, exhorts the faithful to daily conversion and heartfelt prayers. It is a book that will make you long for heaven with all your heart and slowly detach you from this world, where “the pleasures, joys, and honors of this mortal life are but brief and ephemeral.”

Glories of Heaven

"Helpful"

— Deborah K. (5/5)

Thoroughly Mystical Book

"My husband and I have read this book as part of our prayer time. It gives us chills for such Divinity revelations. It gives deeper insight into God’s plan for humanity. And it is an excellent follow up to the book The Life of Mary According to the Mystics."

— Kathleen W. (5/5)

Amazing

"Loved the teachings and journey. A keeper to read over to reflect each time into the future moments in your life."

— TIM M. (5/5)

Inspiring

"Every Catholic should read this book. What awaits us in heaven is beyond our understanding. Conversely, hell is far worse than anyone could ever imagine."

— James D. (5/5)
