Nde

"Pastoral & hopeful"Near-death experiences are often told in whispers-at hospital bedsides, in grief, or after an unexpected return. Many describe a Light, a peace, a love "more real than life." But what should we make of these testimonies?In Return of Light, Father Johan Storm-an Orthodox priest-listens without sensationalism and reads these accounts with discernment. He neither turns NDEs into a new gospel nor dismisses them as mere illusions. Instead, he asks the deeper question: how can such experiences awaken hope, heal fear, and lead the heart back to Christ?Drawing on the Fathers of the Church, the Orthodox understanding of death and resurrection, and the spiritual tradition of watchfulness, this book offers: - a priest's pastoral perspective on NDE testimonies, - clear criteria of discernment (fruits, humility, conversion, truth), - a path from grief to meaning, from fear to prayer, - and a sober vision of the Uncreated Light and the hope of the Kingdom.This book is for those who mourn, those who fear death, those who have heard an NDE story and wondered, and those who seek a Christian hope that does not collapse under suffering. Light is not an idea. It is a Presence.
