Book Description
Lawrence Meredith writes with one question in mind: What constitutes life before death? The Hindus teach that there is life before life. So do the Mormons and the primal-scream therapists. The Muslims teach that there is life after death, and so does just about anybody else who's willing to be called religious. Meredith argues that these views are "felonious." We have the responsibility, he writes, to live life in the here-and-now and seek to experience our own religion of the body. Defining and exploring the different stages of the body is key to understanding Life Before Death: -The body as God -The body as Christ -The body as spirit -The body as dance -The body as play -The body as mortal What readers are saying about this book: It takes no courage to say one is a Christian, but it takes great courage to be a Christian. It takes no courage to say one is a writer, but it takes great courage to be a writer and write so others can comprehend the content. Larry Meredith, in Life Before Death, shows that he has enormous courage. After finishing this book, the reader is more prepared to face death and even more prepared to face life. - Maya Angelou, Author Life Before Death reminds us of the value of our todays, the here and now, and the joys to be savored one day at a time, one victory at a time, one championship at a time. And when Life is the ultimate championship, we don't need 'just a little bit more.' - Cedric Dempsey, President, NCAA Meredith's vision is kaleidoscopic, and his supreme revelation is that 'the Word made flesh' is a vital form of Amazing Grace - Earle Labor, Ph.D., Wilson Professor of American Literature and Director of the Jack London Research Center

Book Description
Each of us is in the middle of a story. In this astoundingly unique book, bestselling author N.D. Wilson reminds us that to truly live we must recognize that we are dying. Cause of death: life. Death by Living is a poetic exploration of faith, futility, and the incredible joy of this mortal life. N.D. Wilson recounts stories from his life in poetic prose, giving perspective on the life we're given by God. Death by Living explores the topics of family, grappling with the death of loved ones, and how to live with intention to get the most out of our time on Earth. Wilson encourages us to live hard and die grateful, and to see Christ in every pair of eyes. To write a past we won’t regret. All of us must pause and breathe. See the past, see life as the fruit of providence and thousands of personal narratives. We did not choose where to set our feet in time, but we choose where to set them next. We stand in the now. God says create. Live. Choose. Shape the past. Etch your life in stone, and what you make will be forever. In Death by Living, you will: Experience life with renewed wonder Recognize mundane moments as opportunities Learn to live hard and die grateful Recognize death as a gift instead of something to be feared At once inspiring, humorous, and unbelievably moving, this a book that you will read again and again, finding fresh perspective each time you open it.

Book Description
What happens to the spirit after the body dies? In Life After Death, Deepak Chopra draws on cutting-edge scientific discoveries and the great wisdom traditions to provide a map of the afterlife. He tells us there is abundant evidence that “the world beyond” is not separated from this world by an impassable wall; in fact, a single reality embraces all worlds, all times and places. “A must-read for everyone who will die.” —Candace B. Pert, Ph.D., author of Molecules of Emotion “A penetrating and insightful investigation into the greatest mystery of existence. This is an important book because only by facing death will we come to a deeper realization of who we are.” —Eckhart Tolle, author of A New Earth and The Power of Now “If I had any doubts about the afterlife, I don’t have them anymore.

I think this is his greatest contribution yet.” —Marianne Williamson, author of The Age of Miracles and The Gift of Change

Book Description
This book presents a unique interdisciplinary perspective addressing our double crisis of how to live a meaningful life in a world of escalating problems. The first two authors are a scholar and a preacher who provide social science knowledge combined with stories from the personal experiences of a minister-cop. We are joined by a sociologist, an economist and a medical social scientist. People have failed to understand that the further development of the individual, which we center on, is the basis for the continuing evolution of society. Every single one of us has awesome intellectual, emotional, and problem-solving potentials. We can learn to fulfill them by fully using our two most powerful tools: language and the scientific method. They can resist bureaucratic conformity that stifles creative innovation and interdisciplinary cooperation. Many have claimed that what they are doing is changing the world. With no exaggeration, this book actually takes basic steps in that direction.

Book Description
Is death the end? Or, to put it another way, do we survive bodily death? Some shrug their shoulders and declare we simply can’t know. Others just say “No.” And a few, flying their philosophical colors, pretentiously profess to not even understand the question. Curiously, the overwhelming majority of human beings throughout the course of history have taken it for granted that death is not the end, that there is a life after death. This striking and seemingly instinctive belief has been embodied in the religious traditions and philosophical reflections of most cultures. There is Life After Death is the first of its kind in that it assembles and analyzes a comprehensive range of data on life after death and then provides a framework to understand the data. No previous book has given a concrete structure of the afterlife that is based on the accounts of “eye”-witnesses, as well as on data from diverse sources. Above all, the book provides exciting and compelling answers to the urgent question: what lies on the other side?
