How Our Departed Ones Live
The Experience of the Orthodox Church
After Life and the Age to Come, Russian Spiritual Classics, Theology$9.99
Description
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Conqueror of
death, and, consequently, of the death of our departed ones. Let us say to them
in Him, not ‘Farewell,’ but ‘Until we meet again, beloved spouse, good parents,
dear brother or sister. Until we meet again!’
While many are now abandoning traditional religious practice, none the less, the
reality of death and questions regarding the afterlife remain at the forefront
of spiritual consciousness. How Our Departed Ones Live is the answer to those
who seek the truth as expressed through the experience of the Orthodox Church.
This comprehensive book discusses the source of death and mortality, the inner
connection and mutual relationship between the living and the departed,
intercession by the living for the departed, and life beyond the grave. It will
comfort the grieving and inspire all Christians to strengthen their resolve as
they seek first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness.
