Father Robert Skrzypczak, an outstanding preacher and retreat leader, proves that it is!

This distinguished priest, one of the most popular Catholic writers in Poland in recent decades, invites readers on a further spiritual journey, discovering the depths of faith, the power of the sacraments, and God's presence in daily life. The author not only imparts profound knowledge of the ancient and contemporary history of the Church, but also, with immense wisdom and sensitivity, encourages a transformation of heart, answering the challenging questions of the contemporary world.
"Times of painful trial, even persecution, are approaching. To maintain faith in such circumstances, a 'lukewarm,' superficial Christianity is not enough," the author writes in the first chapter of his new book. "Contemporary Christians must delve deeply into the Bible and the Church's Tradition to understand how and why today's post-Christian world, with its self-centeredness, pursuit of happiness, and rejection of sacred order and transcendent values, constitutes a rival religion to authentic Christianity."
Are we living in the end times? Is God's judgment approaching, and are the phenomena we are currently experiencing long-foretold signs? Rev. Prof. Robert Skrzypczak does not shy away from difficult questions that increasingly arise in the hearts of believers and seekers. On the contrary, he answers them, showing that God's love and the sacraments become an indestructible source of hope, providing spiritual support in a world filled with a crisis of meaning and spiritual emptiness. The central theme of this publication is the power of the sacraments – baptism as the foundation of Christian identity, the Eucharist as a nuptial mystery, confession as the path to freedom and happiness, and the sacraments of healing as a gift of grace and a path to reconciliation with God.
The book also addresses fundamental spiritual themes: adoration as the center of the Church's life, the Paschal Mystery, the role of femininity and masculinity in God's plan, and the depth of Marian entrustment. The author also reflectively describes issues concerning the future of Christians, the end of time, and the experience of life after death—always from the perspective of the hope flowing from the Gospel.
Richly illustrated and edited to the highest standard, this work by Father Robert Skrzypczak proudly presents a wealth of spiritual content, inviting the reader to engage in in-depth reflection, spiritual inspiration, and a personal journey into the depths of faith.
