Here On The Way To There: A Catholic Perspective On Dying And What Follows

In this gentle, witty book, William Shannon tackles the essential questions for all mortals. How can a mature consideration of death contribute to a richer, more complete life?

How do we ready ourselves for that same experience? And finally there is the really big question: What can we say about life there? What is it like?
