"Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Conqueror of death, and, consequently, of the death of our departed ones. Let us say to them in Him, not 'Farewell,' but 'Until we meet again, beloved spouse, good parents, dear brother or sister. Until we meet again!'" While many are now abandoning traditional religious practice, none the less, the reality of death and questions regarding the afterlife remain at the forefront of spiritual consciousness. How Our Departed Ones Live is the answer to those who seek the truth as expressed through the experience of the Orthodox Church. This comprehensive book discusses the source of death and mortality, the inner connection and mutual relationship between the living and the departed, intercession by the living for the departed, and life beyond the grave. It will comfort the grieving and inspire all Christians to strengthen their resolve as they seek first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness.
The concept of deviance has been central to the academic study of (Western) esotericism since its inception. This book, being the proceedings of the 6th Biennial Conference of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE), explores the relationship between esotericism and various forms of deviance (as concept, category, and practice) from antiquity until late modernity. The volume is the first to combine incisive conceptual explorations of the concept of deviance and how it informs and challenges the study of esotericism alongside a wide range of empirically grounded case discussions.

The objective of this effort is to bring together the thoughts and anecdotes from history's greatest minds regarding the issues confounding many Christians. Within this volume are an array of topics, which begin with the letters A thru D. The responses, admonition and precepts presented within these pages are unlike anything preciously published. What you are holding is the wisdom of various monks from the begging of the Christian Era down to modern times. This work is the advice of monks to other fellow monks and those who came for advice. Within these pages are assembled by topic, various issues which have been handed down as the premier advice regarding a topic. This is the first of its kind in print today, and is also the first volume of a larger collection of four. This effort is an admirable addition to the "Monastic Series" as well as anyone's library. This effort is configured to create a bridge from one era to another and dismiss some new-age concepts about an old ideal life style and vocations.
