The Birth We Call Death

Pretty well written, and from the heart. Please realize it was written by devout Mormons.

After the sudden death of my husband I searched for anything that I could find to bring me comfort. This book is an excellent source that reassured me that my loved one was not far and that I would see his sweet smile and sparkling eyes again, just as I have over the past 26 years of marriage.

Whether read by a person of faith or one simply struggling with the pain and questions of death, this is a book filled with comforting and uplifting wisdom shared through anecdotes, scriptures and thoughtful insights. There ARE answers to some of life's deepest questions.

Excellent book for those who are grieving and for those who simply want an excellent book to read!

Every person born into this mortal existance will some day experience death. Most experience the emotional trauma of losing a loved one. I first read this book some twenty years ago. I have since referred to it several times to remind myself of the simple and comforting message of death being simply a birth into another existance of life we call immortality. With the understanding that death is not the end, there comes before us all a hope of the future. Sorrow, or mourning is but an expression of love. This book will enlighten that understanding, give clearer purpose to life, the value of death, and the hope for eternal life through the process of the resurrection. The book gives critical insight into the age old questions of "Where did we come from?, Why are we here?, and Where are we going? Pondering the messages of hope and understanding will give a sense of peace and purpose to the value and meaning of mortality and immortality. Since all have been born into this world and all must someday exit this earthly life, it bears reason to better understand the purpose of life as so beautifully described in "The Birth That We Call Death" The book compares exceptionally well with "The Gateway We Call Death", by Russell M Nelson, but more clearly and concisely focuses upon the critical questions as described above. Both give excellent examples of the purpose of life as defined by the meaning of death, now seen more clearly as an open door to life eternal.
