New Book in Russian: "Conversations with the Dead: Stories of Parish Priests" (2019)

 

 
Annotation to the book "Conversations with the Dead: Stories of Parish Priests" 
("Разговоры с мертвыми: Рассказы приходских священников")

People sometimes encounter mysterious phenomena that they cannot explain. The authors of this book are Orthodox priests, and they talk about miracles associated with visitors from another world.

The main task of this unusual book is to testify about the truth of the existence of God, about the Creator of the visible and invisible world, the Creator of disembodied forces, some of which are bright angels, and others are crafty demons.

In all these events, there is undoubtedly the Providence of God, which does not leave a person throughout his life.

The material for the book was the stories of parish priests, which were published in the 19th and 20th centuries in the Russian magazines "Русское слово", "Странник", "Душеполезное чтение", "Троицкий листок" and other sources, including the journal "Церковные ведомости", published by the Holy Synod.

This book was recommended for publication by the Publishing Council of the Russian Orthodox Church.
