"Letters Beyond the Veil" continues the love story of Elisabeth and Dietrich Seidel. Their previous book, "Beloveds Forever Together: Letters of Eternal Love," contains the letters they wrote to each other during forty years of married life on this earth, culminating in their final farewells when Dietrich's physical life came to an end. At that time, they affirmed that their love was eternal, they would be forever together in heart.
In this volume the reader will learn how Elisabeth found a way to communicate with Dietrich, beyond the "veil," writing down her thoughts for him to read. These thoughts became letters, and she began receiving replies from her beloved.
Their letters reveal what is truly most important for our eternal life. It is not success in the form of fame or fortune; it is not material possessions, although Elisabeth confesses that she would like Dietrich to buy her some beautiful jewelry on occasion! Rather, what is most important is love, true love, eternal love, the eternal relationship of heart that is forged during our physical life on the earth.
