It's About Eternal Life After All: Revisiting Catholic Beliefs

This book is intended for Catholic laity wishing a deeper grasp of their beliefs. It revisits and opens up traditional Catholic teachings, removing cluttering features and proposing what seems essential and simpler. The reality of Eternal Life, the indwelling presence of God, is not something met only after death in heaven but is experienced in our lives now. Another principle running throughout is that the eternity one experiences in resurrection shares in God's nature of unchangeableness, a fullness of life where before and after lack meaning. Some of the revisited beliefs include: How does the Bible work? How is prayerfulness maintained? Is there a Purgatory involving suffering? And what happens when I die or when the world ends?
