Priest and educator John Aurelio provides an abundance of insight into the Christian faith in this brief book. He focuses on fresh ways of understanding the body, death, relics, sacraments, and resurrection.
Aurelio looks at the resurrection appearances of Jesus in the gospels and then uses them to frame contemporary life-after-death experiences. He notes how ordinary objects often become a doorway through which we experience communications from the dead. In talking about these mysterious encounters, we bear witness to the God of the living and new life.
Returnings is a luminous work that speaks with integrity and creativity to our sense of anticipation and mystery in the face of life after death.
