First, Afterlife, Interrupted stories, in which someone who died suddenly and traumatically seeks my help and the help of my prayer partners.Second, Compassionate Responses, to readers’ and listeners’ questions and concerns that arise from those stories.

Be inspired to more fully receive, magnify, and share love. www.nathan-castle.com
