The Final Hour

Would not recommend.

This is a "must read" book for EVERYONE! Indeed it spells out where we are headed as a nation, the cause of this upheavel, and that prayer and a spiritual renewal is sorely needed to reverse the direction we are headed.

It is hard to recommend this book too highly. If you are looking for a spiritual book that says all is ok with the world and leaves you with a glow, this is not your book. If you want to find meaning in the apparitions of the Virgin Mary since Rue de Bac in Paris in 1830 through 1990, be prepared to be challenged in your world view if you have never read about her apparitions before. The underlying tone of the book is spiritual warfare and the joy of those who have followed the Virgin Mary back to God through Jesus. Satan and his minions do exist and want to ruin our lives especially that beyond death. The Virgin Mary comes in fascinating visits as detailed by Michael Brown to guide us away from evil to God and the kind of life God intends for us. Mr. Brown, a former journalist for the NY Times, who returned to Catholic belief after some profound spiritual experiences, as detailed in Prayer of the Warrior, writes at times in a breathless fashion, invariably riveting. He offers evidence of an increasing Satanic attack on humanity since 1830 which is countered by God through Jesus, angels and the Virgin Mary, building to some kind of crescendo still in our future. Though it is amply clear that Mr. Brown is in a hurry, he writes with the restraint of a conservative Catholic. He sticks with the approved apparitions and those apparitions that are still being investigated that have some promise of being approved in the future. Mr Brown's evidence of the influence of evil on certain individuals such as Karl Marx and Lenin begs for more investigation. However, especially if you have read the New Testament, the evidence as presented in this book and others written by Mr. Brown, which I also recommend, help to remove the blinders secular society has placed on us and realize that Heaven is pleading with us to return to God.

Michael H. Brown's, The Final Hour is wonderful reading that puts biblical prophecy into an easy to read perspective and will help to strengthen weak or skeptical faith. It will give you chills and leave you with hope for the future.

This book has so much information that it truly lights a fire in the soul!

The Final Hour is a fascinating documentary on Marian visions as well as modern-day encounters with Christ. Visionaries chronicle their experiences, and tell what awaits us in the final hour. There are some prophesies that had not occurred at the time the book was published, that have come true.
