After This Life

Recognizing that anxiety and fear are the most common personal problems brought to him during nearly forty years of psychological counseling, Father Benedict Groeschel knows first hand that most people prefer to avoid the issue of mortality entirely.
Himself the victim of a hit-and-run accident in 2004, after which he had no vital signs for 30 minutes, Groeschel explains how consoling and uplifting the truths surrounding death, judgment, Hell, purgatory, and Heaven really are.
Learn to live each new day with confience based on the mercy and love of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who spoke of death and the last judgement through His parables.
