The raising of the dead is a miracle which, astonishing as it is,
has been performed hundreds of times since the days of Christ. Our
Lord told His Apostles to raise the dead (Matt. 10:8), and over the
Christian centuries many Saints have done so-particularly great
missionaries like St. Francis Xavier, St. Patrick, St. Vincent
Ferrer, St. Hyacinth, and St. Louis Bertrand, but also a multitude
of other Saints, including St. John Bosco, St. Philip Neri, St.
Catherine of Siena, St. Francis of Paola, St. Teresa of Avila, St.
Bernard of Clairvaux, St. Malachy, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, St.
Joan of Arc, St. Rose of Lima, and Blessed Margaret of Castello.
The stories of these resurrection miracles are amazing; they
include the raising of persons who had drowned, of persons with
mutilated bodies, of persons who had been hanged, and of those
whose bodies had already suffered decay, been reduced to skeletons,
or been buried for several years. They include young children,
unbaptized infants, persons executed for crimes, person raised to
testify in criminal cases or to testify to some religious truth,
and of persons who would have been condemned to Hell had they not
been called back to earth for another chance. Also included herein
are the descriptions of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory given by
temporarily dead persons (Continued on inside back cover) who had
been privileged to see those regions. Moreover, this book gives an
analysis of the authenticity of resurrection miracles (Did they
really happen? Were the dead persons really dead?) and of the
purpose and meaning of miracles, according to the teaching of the
Church-plus it describes other bodily wonders of the Catholic
Saints, such as levitation, bilocation, total abstinence from
natural food and drink, crossing of rivers on a cloak, and
miraculous survival in intense heat. Also included are proofs for
the Resurrection of Our Lord, the Catholic doctrine on the
resurrection of the body and the Last Judgment (with its final
separation of the damned from the elect), and a critique of
contemporary "post clinical-death" experiences in the light of
Catholic teaching. This is a book unique in the English-speaking
world, for even in Catholic circles these accounts of resurrection
miracles have for the most part remained buried in old books, rare
and hard to find today. Father Hebert has indeed performed a great
service to the Church in unearthing these facts and bringing them
to light. Packed with fascinating true stories and solid Catholic
doctrine, Saints Who Raised the Dead is a goldmine of information
and of inspiration-showing forth the glory of God and His holy
Church, and providing a preview of those momentous events which
everyone who has ever lived will take part in at the End of the
World. "Why should it be thought a thing incredible, that God
should raise the dead?"-Acts 26:8
