What Really Happens After We Die: There Will Be Hugs in Heaven

• What Really Happens After We Die: There Will Be Hugs in Heaven

Here professor of Church history Dr. James Papandrea gathers in one place all that is known about the afterlife — drawn from the teachings of Jesus, the Apostles, the Church Fathers, and the Church’s Magisterium — affording, for the first time ever, a complete, authoritative, detailed portrait of the state of souls after death and the realms we enter. The following are among the many questions he answers:

•    If, as St. Paul says, “flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God,” how can our bodies enter Heaven?
•    After death but before the final resurrection, are we simply unconscious?
•    What is our resurrection like? (And does it differ from Jesus’ Resurrection?)
•    Are ghosts real? (You’ll be surprised at what the Church Fathers have to say.)
•    What is the difference between Heaven and Paradise?
•    Which of our parts will accompany us to Heaven (and which must be left behind)?
•    In Heaven, do we still eat and drink?
•    If, as Jesus says, there’s no marrying in heaven, are we still male and female there?
•    After our resurrection, will we, like Jesus, be able to pass through matter?
•    And many more fascinating questions answered!
