Vassula Ryden was born in Egypt of Greek parents and baptized into the Greek Orthodox Church, although she hardly thought about God for 30 years. In 1985 she was approached by her Guardian Angel and later by God Himself to transmit messages to the world under the title, True Life in God.

Vassula has tirelessly travelled the world to proclaim and spread these messages, translated now into more than 40 languages.

The messages have received a Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur and have been thoroughly investigated by the Vatican
