But we who are Christian turn to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus for answers. Walk with Monsignor J. Brian Bransfield as he follows the threads that run through our lives and the gospels, deciphering the very clues that shed light on this unsettling question. Sharing personal experiences and a deep understanding of theology, Bransfield brings hope to those who grieve and peace to those in sorrow. This is a welcome and accessible volume for anyone pondering death and the mystery of the afterlife.
