The Final Quest.

In a recent excellent article for The Times Allan Massie said that Atheistic Communism was the Catholic Church's most recent opponent for religous global dominance. He goes on to say that the Eternal Church has weathered much more violent Tempests. As a religion Communism was flawed in that it did not provide a view of the eternal and as such was anti human. As Catholic Christians we must not neglect this element of our faith either.


Rick Joyner's The Final Quest answers this question as well as any 158 page paperback could.


This Protestant Pastor was given a series of visions lasting some months in which he was given a "tour" of Heaven in the context of our Age.

Among other gracious names Louis Marie de Montford gives the Blessed Mother the Title of "Eternal Wisdom," she that leads us directly to Christ. Throughout the narrative, despite the ecclesiastical status of the author, The Final Quest provides many similar paradigms , which take place in the form of a continuous stream of spiritual consciousness.

In this vein two anecdotes particularly stand out. One in which the author is subjected to a vision of himself giving out religous tracts while a homeless man languishes. Later, in Heaven the temporaly poor man of the anecdote is seen to be one of the highest saints in Heaven, owing to the fact that he was dealt a much harder hand in life than Warren, not having to unburden himself at the Eye of the Needle.

Secondly Jesus' parable of the Foolish Virgins is shown to be an eschatological narrative. As Joiner is taken by Eternal Wisdom closer and closer to the Throne of Christ in Heaven everything gets more and more brilliant. But the wailing and gnashing of teeth is not in fact Hell but a part of Heaven that is dark compared to the Throne but when one is there one is nonetheless in an ecstacy the like of which could not be found in any purely temporal reality.
