San Juan Author Publishes New Book

"Paid Debts: History of the Expiation of a Spirit," a new book by Fernando E. Mercado-Beléndez, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Is the soul immediately judged after physical death, and afterward condemned to the place of torment, or rewarded at the seat of eternal rest? Fernando Mercado-Beléndez narrates how a spirit goes through the process of expiation, reincarnating several times to be purified and as a payment of punishment, before reaching complete reconciliation with the Maker.
