Chuck Branz is especially qualified to write on the topic of overcoming the fear of death. In forty-nine years in the medical profession, he has seen the devastating effects of this fear on countless patients and their families. As a pastor, he has often helped people trying to cope with the prospect of imminent death through palliative care and hospice ministry. Many times, as he has shared the simple message presented in this book, he has seen fear and despair turn to joy. Chuck does not attempt to cover the emotional aspects of death, grief, and suffering in this book. But he explains clearly and simply the timeless truth that death is not the end of life - it is a step beyond our horizon. "Love is immortal, life is eternal, and death is merely a horizon, and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight..." - Author Unknown "Death - the last sleep? No, it is the final awakening." - Walter Scott
