Most of us, most of the time, prefer not to think about the universal experience of death. Death arouses disturbing instincts, emotions and memories. This is a book for those wishing to understand more about the Christian journey at the end of life, but it is not just a book about death, it is also about living with courage and grace and about facing our fears. The author writes both for the dying and for those who accompany them. He examines the questions that we are often too afraid to ask, and helps us to encompass death through a deeper understanding of the promise of union with God and life everlasting.
