Leben am Abgrund

When Marino visits relatives in Colombia at the end of 1997, he is kidnapped and held for months in the rugged forests of Colombia. Death threats and physical and mental hardships bring him close to despair. Then God intervenes and shows Marino another world. He sees his own life from God's perspective. Suddenly, he realizes that despite being so successful in the world, he has lost the most important thing: faith and the purity of his soul. In this book, Marino describes his life on the brink and his mystical encounter with God. He shares what Heaven revealed to him about the connections between sin, grace, human freedom, and God's mercy. The spiritual battle that rages for every soul is explained, as well as the workings of guardian angels, saints, and the Mother of God, Mary. It is a gripping account of a man who found a new life and bears witness to it worldwide with the support of the Catholic Church.
