What Really Happens After We Die

Is death simply a matter of the soul leaving the body? Is the afterlife a vague, ethereal, disembodied, and ghostly existence? Do we lose ourselves as our personalities are absorbed into the “universe”? Or is heaven actually the place where our fullest humanity is realized?

In What Really Happens after We Die, author James Papandrea reveals the surprising truth about Jesus’ own understanding of the afterlife and how His resurrection is the prototype for our own. This book gives hope and peace to people who grieve, reassuring them that heaven is a reunion with the loved ones they have lost. Drawing on the teachings of Jesus, the apostles, and the Church Fathers, Papandrea clarifies the Church’s teachings on death, resurrection, the afterlife, and much more, showing the significance of these teachings for our lives as Christians in this world.
