Even as Americans abandon traditional religion in droves, the question of death and afterlife continue to dominate our spiritual consciousness. How Our Departed Ones Live goes beyond popular flash-in-the-pan near-death experiences to express the age-old tradition and experience of the Orthodox Christian 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.
