Orthodox Afterlife: 2,000 Years of Afterlife Experiences of Orthodox Christians and a Biblical and Early Christian View of Heaven, Hell, and the Hereafter
John Habib came back to the faith of his youth in young adulthood after reading an afterlife story handwritten by an Egyptian Christian monk. This book is the culmination of over fifteen years of research on a quest to arrive at what the Orthodox Christian understanding of the afterlife really is. John is an avid student of Christian history and theology, having written several articles and delivered countless lectures on those subjects. He is also an attorney and serves as a reader in the Coptic Orthodox Church.
This book delves into a treasure trove of Orthodox history to seek out answers to questions such as the following (and much more): ● What is death and what does it feel like to die?
● What will our spirits look like?
● What will we see immediately after death?
● What is the experience after death? Is it a journey, or do we directly find ourselves in some other place?
● What is Hades like? Is it really a fiery torment? Is everyone punished the same?
● What is Paradise like? How does it look? What does it feel like being there?
● What happens to infants after they die?
● Will we see God in heaven? Will we see the Father? The Son? The Holy Spirit?
● What will we do in the afterlife? Will it be enjoyable?
