For the last twenty-seven years Father Nathan Castle has helped over 600 souls “graduate” in heaven to higher realms. Each experience begins with a dream, usually of a violent or sudden death. Later, he meets with prayer partners and allows angels and souls to speak through him. He is part of the “heavenly discharge team.” In 2018 Father Nathan began publishing books from the notebooks he’s maintained through the years. In 2022, he started The Joyful Friar podcast to reach a wider audience. His first two books fascinated me and the third in the series is equally compelling.

Afterlife, Interrupted Book Three: Please Let Me Explain

Book three brings us people from around the world who have lived in many cultures before they transitioned to other dimensions. Each story is chosen with a lesson for the living. This book is different in that three of the stories involve people who did not die violently, but rather gave up on life long before their deaths. A doctor who sank into the half-existence of long illness; the wealthy woman who harbored a secret rape and cut off close relationships; a perpetually grieving young woman focused only on her loss until cancer ends her days. Father Nathan’s poignant conversations with those souls reveal people who missed out on the pleasures and opportunities that life has to offer. For those of us still on the planet, those cautionary tales show us the consequences of our actions and negative thought patterns. Fortunately, there is mercy and grace in heavenly realms to guide and heal souls. Father Nathan’s books are filled with hope and wonder.

I always have many questions after reading the Afterlife Interrupted books. And, how lucky was I to be asked to be the Guest Host for the 2nd anniversary of The Joyful Friar podcast! I was able to ask Father Nathan many of my questions. How do those dreams work? What have you learned about Guardian Angels? How do Helpers assist in “heavenly graduation?” Those questions and so many more.

I invite you to watch our 2nd Anniversary Show interview. It was an honor and joy to be a part of the celebration. Father Nathan’s work offers hope and assurance that we indeed are eternal souls, and life is what we make it, both on earth and in heaven. So, make good choices and embrace the joy of living.

Bright blessings, Dana
