4.0 out of 5 stars written in 2 weeks/ a masterpiece, June 20, 2004

By A Customer

this book is a deep and moving book of a truly brilliant mans extensive study of Christian and non Christian writings on DEATH. This is a simple readable book illuminated with a profound love of Jesus and inspiring hope. Before his death in a two week period this work was done; death is something none of us will ever avoid and this work has some great teachings and insight. I can not say I loved reading this book , but I am a better person for having read it, and sometimes great words are not the easiest to read but maybe the most worthwhile.

4.0 out of 5 stars How to face death without fear., April 23, 2007

By	M. A. Ramos (Florida USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

At the age of eighty-six in the last two weeks of his life the author wrote his, his last book. A book that takes his years of thought and prayer and puts down on papers how we confront the prospect of our own death.

There is no question that he had an acceptance of his impending death. His reverent insight into the fear of death we must all face and of God's judgment is well written. As is his writing as he pulls back the dark veil of death for us. And reminds us that only through the darkness of death may we enter the light of eternal life. An eternal life offered by our faith in God, in the resurrection of the body, and in reunion through Christ with our beloved dead.

I decided to read this book now that I have reached the point the doctors have decided it is best I just go home and be as comfortable as possible. Reading this book both frightened me and brought me joy. Since we are all mortal, I do suggest you read this book. Get through the first half, the second half makes it all worthwhile. For you cannot have light without darkness.
