The Orthodox priest Father Spyridon invites us to confront the reality of our death and through the ancient faith of the Church find hope. Only when we have a true perspective on our death can we begin to live out our true purpose. By dispelling many myths that exist in the West about purgatory, judgement, heaven and hell, the rapture, angels, the soul and many more he reveals a path free from fear. In a book of deep spiritual reflection Father Spyridon manages to convey a robust and practical realism while dealing with profound theological truths.
