Life with God a Full Table: Vassula Ryden, author of Heaven is Real, But So Is Hell: An Eyewitness Account of What is to Come, is interviewed at a Church in Romania and she responds to a questions about lack of faith or purpose in Romania after the fall of Communism and she states that, "No matter I'm talking about in terms of religion, a Life Without God is an Empty Table and a Life with God is a Full Table." She talks about people around the world falling away from God and rebellion being signs of the Apostasy as related by Apostle Paul in the Bible that that God wants repentance, offers His Mercy in an unending fashion and that the End of Times means "an end of a season, not the end of the world as so many believe."
Vassula Ryden, author of Heaven is Real But So is Hell: An Eyewitness Account of What is to Come, is a Greek Orthodox Christian speaker and author who is known worldwide.
Born of Greek parents, Ryden grew up in Egypt, until her family moved to Switzerland when she was a teenager. Then in 1985, while she was living in Bangladesh, she had a spiritual encounter that changed her life, as well as many others.
Ryden was working on a grocery list when she felt the presence of an angel. "My hand was taken as if by an invisible hand, and I let it go because I felt he wanted me to write something," she says.
At the time of the encounter, she had no relationship with God and hadn't received any religious training. Soon after that encounter, God allowed Ryden to experience a painful purification process. After experiencing this dark and lonely time when she did not hear from God, she made the decision to fully surrender to Him and put God first in her life.
Since then, she has had thousands of similar experiences, transcribing "messages" from God in a different style than her normal handwriting. The messages have been compiled in books, videos and other materials, which are promoted and distributed under the title, 'True Life in God' after Vassula was told by God in 1987, I have chosen you as a blank canvas to fill it up only with My Work which I will name: "True Life in God."
Ryden also has what she calls "interior visions" of heaven and the future and has foreseen three important events, which came to fruition:
• the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001;
• the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004; and
• the fall of Communism in the former Soviet Union.
But such "doomsday" prophecies are not the focus of her ministry. God's messages to Ryden emphasize His love and desire that all people have an intimate relationship with Him. They also stress the need for unity among Christian denominations.
Although she is Greek Orthodox, Ryden has a large Catholic following. She has cordial relations with many Vatican officials and presented a copy of "True Life in God" to Pope Benedict XVI in 2008.
Ryden lives in Greece with her husband, but she is a frequent traveler, having spoken in 79 countries.
