Glimpses of the Wonderful

Author: Ann Thwaite
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780571193288
Category : Naturalists
Languages : en
Pages : 387

Book Description
Today, Philip Henry Gosse is remembered, if at all, as the patriarch and tyrannical religious maniac in his son Edmund's memoir, Father and Son. This is a vivid reassessment of the life of Philip Henry Gosse, the renowned Victorian naturalist, author, illustrator and Christian fundamentalist, who as both friend and antagonist of Charles Darwin, was at the very heart of the Victorian conflict between science and religion. Thwaite shows that Gosse believed that "the gratification of scientific curiosity is worse than useless if we ignore God."--Publisher.

In this ground-breaking book, Raymond Moody, Jr., M.D. PhD, named the "father of near-death experiences" by The New York Times, explores the provocative subject of "shared death experiences," the compelling evidence that many people share their loved ones journey from this life to the next. Dr Moody's seminal work, Life After Life, completely changed the way in which we view death and dying. This new work continues his research into the afterlife by exploring in detail a wide-range of case studies, including his own personal experience during the passing of his mother. Glimpses of Eternity offers comfort and hope, and sheds new light on the mysterious adventure we take at the end of life.
