"If there’s life after death, let’s hope it looks like these 8 minutes of pure plastic effervescence & cosmic softness during which Belson takes us on a tour into the core of a far away galaxy, like a celestial voyage. Smoking a bit before is a plus for a total immersion."

Nancy Duff, in the context of Christian faith, raises a number of questions for believers to take into account regarding death and making informed end-of-life decisions.

I found this book very helpful in raising questions based on faith as opposed to other books on the subject that have been more medical based.

Certainly a book worth reading and contemplating even if you yourself are not actively concerned about your own end of life. It helps the reader see other considerations that someone facing the end of life will be thinking about.

"A powerful journey through despair and silence. A magnificent reflection on death and the meaning of life, as well as the ways life sometimes unveils its beauty—by, say, the taste of cherries that have fallen from a tree, a tree shaken by a man who was planning to hang himself on one of its branches but who remembered, when savoring these wild berries, that life is worth living. Long single takes, car scenes (for which Kiarostami is famous, and rightfully so). A gem. Must see. Now, please."

The Art of Dying
Very interesting book which looks at the experiences of those who have been around people who are dying and all the strange experiences that are seemingly commonplace. The books purpose is to teach that death is not to be feared and to stop stressing in life as we are only here for a short while.After reading it I am sure in life after death. These are academics whom have researched global experiences and all report people who have died visiting people who are dying before they go and taking them with them. A brilliant book you can learn a lot from.
