You Are Mine

By: Sister Anastasia

Narrated by: 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.

Fascinating glimpse into the spiritual world

Such an interesting story of transformation from pagan rituals and contact with unclean spirits to an Orthodox Christian.

Grateful

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

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.

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.

Beautiful

Everything about this book was beautiful. Her story, her heart and her voice. Definitely give this audiobook a listen, her story is an absolute treasure and will challenge you.
