You Are Mine

De: Sister Anastasia

Narrado por: Sister Anastasia

The spirit of the age contradicts all that Christ teaches, and many reject or leave the Church to satisfy their longing for the supernatural in esoteric traditions governed by the spirits of the underworld. The occult is now an unashamed feature of modern life, yet discussion of its danger often results in snorts of derision. Like many wounded by life and dissatisfied with the emptiness of modern existence, Sister Anastasia hungered for healing and thirsted for genuine spiritual experience. This propelled her into an intense spiritual search. Abandoning Christianity, she plunged into the depths of ancient, elemental witchcraft.

In this raw and unflinching account, which reveals the pain that drives a person to seek release through magic and the suffering that results from worship of demons, Sister Anastasia traces what it means to be healed and transformed by the love of Christ and the blessings available to those who accept His call to be reborn in the kingdom of God.

Absolutely honest and inspiring

It had resonance with me as someone who was lost in the world of the “new age” and seeking peace. My search has of recently led me to a relationship with Christ in Orthodoxy. This fine lady’s story and her words are honest and revealing, a massive help and a relief to make me want to carry on. I thank the Lord from the bottom of my heart for this book.

Grateful

Thank you, sister Anastasia for sharing Christ with us. What a sweet testimony of His love and redemption!

Intriguing story of deliverance

Hearing this story read by the author herself brings this story to life. I couldn’t stop listening until it was finished.

What an experience. A voice for a generation.

This is a messy story, but isn't that what life is? Our generation is a generation of vulnerability, authenticity, rawness, transparency. Sometimes this means you will be uncomfortable, many times poignant, always moved. The author reads with a lovely voice and gives such depth to her own story. I was encouraged by the voice she gave to many of my own personal wrestlings and the bravery she exhibited in her writing. Though young and new to Christianity, and Orthodoxy in particular, she has been blessed to be immersed deep within the wisdom of monastic life, and that richness comes through in her reflections. Anyone, whether you fully agree with all of her conclusions or not, will be immensely enriched by engaging this material whether in print or Audible. May the life she now lives grant her salvation, and may her prayers for us all be effectual in our own.

The Prodigal Daughter

The details of our unique journeys may vary, but the essence remains, we are all fallen and in need of God’s Fatherly and redemptive divine love.

Sr. Anastasia’s journey is raw and beautifully articulated in, “You Are Mine”. Having come from a “Christian” home, through the occult and eastern religious practices, and ultimately being led to the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church (Orthodoxy), I found myself weeping, joyfully smiling, and nodding in experiential sadness as I listened to the audio of this book.

I highly recommend this book for not only those coming from a similar background, but for all! Sr. Anastasia’s sensitiveness to the spiritual life, the wisdom gifted from her spiritual Father, Fr. Theophan, and the love of her Sisters and Mother will ignite a flame of repentance and desire to love God above all.

May this work continue to be a blessing to those God so chooses and may all glory, honor, and worship be to The Father, and The Son, and The Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages +

Very touching

A very moving story that brought me to tears on several occasions. Highly recommended to anyone who has dabbled in New Age spirituality

what Go d would have us understand.

I loved the raw and encouraging story of a life changing to devotion, sacrifice and peace.

Praise God

Please read this wonderful message from the Lord, written and given to us by Sister Anastasia. We are Christ’s, and He redeems.

An absolute gift to those living in a Post-Modern world

This book has not only broadened my understanding but also increased my compassion towards others. The Audio was excellent and I felt like I was listening to a dear friend’s journey.

Excellent

I believe that the clarity in which Sr. Anastasia presents the dangers of alternative religion will find itself a resource just as useful as St. Paisius the Young Man and the Guru.
