Book excerpt: A New York Times and Los Angeles Times Bestseller “Doughty chronicles [death] practices with tenderheartedness, a technician’s fascination, and an unsentimental respect for grief.” —Jill Lepore, The New Yorker Fascinated by our pervasive fear of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty embarks on a global expedition to discover how other cultures care for the dead. From Zoroastrian sky burials to wish-granting Bolivian skulls, she investigates the world’s funerary customs and expands our sense of what it means to treat the dead with dignity. Her account questions the rituals of the American funeral industry—especially chemical embalming—and suggests that the most effective traditions are those that allow mourners to personally attend to the body of the deceased. Exquisitely illustrated by artist Landis Blair, From Here to Eternity is an adventure into the morbid unknown, a fascinating tour through the unique ways people everywhere confront mortality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Robert John Russell, one of the foremost scholars on relating Christian theology and science, the topic of “time and eternity” is central to the relation between God and the world in two ways. First, it involves the notion of the divine eternity as the supratemporal source of creaturely time. Second, it involves the eternity of the eschatological New Creation beginning with the bodily Resurrection of Jesus in relation to creaturely time. The key to Russell's engagement with these issues, and the purpose of this book, is to explore Wolfhart Pannenberg’s treatment of time and eternity in relation to mathematics, physics, and cosmology. Time in Eternity is the first book-length exposition of Russell’s unique method for relating Christian theology and the natural sciences, which he calls “creative mutual interaction” (CMI). This method first calls for a reformulation of theology in light of science and then for the delineation of possible topics for research in science drawing on this reformulated theology. Accordingly, Russell first reformulates Pannenberg’s discussion of the divine attributes—eternity and omnipresence—in light of the way time and space are treated in mathematics, physics, and cosmology. This leads him to construct a correlation of eternity and omnipresence in light of the spacetime framework of Einstein’s special relativity. In the process he proposes a new flowing time interpretation of relativity to counter the usual block universe interpretation supported by most physicists and philosophers of science. Russell also replaces Pannenberg’s use of Hegel’s concept of infinity in relation to the divine attributes with the concept of infinity drawn from the mathematics of Georg Cantor. Russell then addresses the enormous challenge raised by Big Bang cosmology to Christian eschatology. In response, he draws on Pannenberg’s interpretation both of the Resurrection as a proleptic manifestation of the eschatological New Creation within history and the present as the arrival of the future. Russell shows how such a reformulated understanding of theology can shed light on possible directions for fundamental research in physics and cosmology. These lead him to explore preconditions in contemporary physics research for the possibility of duration, copresence, retroactive causality, and prolepsis in nature.

Book excerpt: The moment a Christian dies, they immediately begin their existence in Heaven, where God dwells. Christians will be presented to Jesus in a marriage to the Lamb of God. After seven years in Heaven Believers will return back to this Earth and reign with Christ for one thousand years. After the Millennium a new Earth and a new Heaven will be created for Christians to live forever with Jesus our Lord and Saviour. Born near Cleveland Georgia before the Depression Era. Soon after World War II broke out, enlisted with the U.S. Air Force and served in the South Pacific Theater. Returned home after twenty months of combat and married Bernice Hambrick in Sept of 1946. The Lord directed a move in 1953 to Chattanooga and Tenn. Temple University to prepare for some full time Christian service. Graduated in 1960 from Seminary and started 31 years of teaching Bible and History in the College division of the University. Many Bible conferences were held teaching the Book of Revelation until 64 sessions were taught explaining each verse of Revelation. "Revelation For Today" was written in layman terms explaining each verse, which many have commented that they for the first time have been able to understand the book. A great number of people have shown much interest about what happens to believers after they die. The book was written to explain the sequence of the events that will happen when we die. The teaching lectures already given about this subject has been of most interest to those who attend these sessions. The retirement years have been fulfilling by teaching and by being the Assistant Pastor of New Liberty Baptist Church in Ringgold Georgia. Telford Barrett

Book excerpt: MacShane examines the works of James Jones who entered the literary scene in 1951 with the publication of From Here to Eternity. Jones was forced by the Depression to join the army for five years, but escaped the misery of army life by reading and writing. The publication of his novel about the American army brought him not only the National Book Award but also friendships with writers such as Norman Mailer and William Styron, and Hollywood stars Montgomery Clift and Frank Sinatra. MacShane deftly interweaves biographical fact, personal anecdote, and literary criticism to produce an appreciation of a writer who lived fully in order to have experiences to put into his books. The author also covers Jones' marriage to actress Gloria Mosolino, their life in Paris where they entertained literary figures such as Irwin Shaw and Mary McCarthy; and the writing of his The Thin Red Line and Whistle.

Book excerpt: From "the world's greatest tour guide," a deeply-researched, captivating journey through the rich history of Christianity and the winding paths of the French and Italian countryside that will feed mind, body, and soul (New York Times). "What a wondrous work! This beautifully written and totally clear-eyed account of his pilgrimage will have you wondering whether we should all embark on such a journey, either of the body, the soul or, as in Egan's case, both." --Cokie Roberts "Egan draws us in, making us feel frozen in the snow-covered Alps, joyful in valleys of trees with low-hanging fruit, skeptical of the relics of embalmed saints and hopeful for the healing of his encrusted toes, so worn and weathered from their walk."--The Washington Post Moved by his mother's death and his Irish Catholic family's complicated history with the church, Timothy Egan decided to follow in the footsteps of centuries of seekers to force a reckoning with his own beliefs. He embarked on a thousand-mile pilgrimage through the theological cradle of Christianity to explore the religion in the world that it created. Egan sets out along the Via Francigena, once the major medieval trail leading the devout to Rome, and travels overland via the alpine peaks and small mountain towns of France, Switzerland and Italy, accompanied by a quirky cast of fellow pilgrims and by some of the towering figures of the faith--Joan of Arc, Henry VIII, Martin Luther. The goal: walking to St. Peter's Square, in hopes of meeting the galvanizing pope who is struggling to hold together the church through the worst crisis in half a millennium. A thrilling journey, a family story, and a revealing history, A Pilgrimage to Eternity looks for our future in its search for God.

Book excerpt: James Scott was twenty-four years old when he was first convicted in 1994-and then again in 1998-of intentionally causing a catastrophe. His alleged crime was causing a levee to break, which flooded over 14,000 acres of farmland during the Great Midwestern Floods of '93. Though no one died, he was the first and only person in Missouri history convicted under this obscure 1979 law and is now serving a life sentence. He won't be eligible for his first parole hearing until 2023, when he will be fifty-five years old. In Damned to Eternity, Adam Pitluk contends that James Scott was a victim of a federal agency, a town, and law enforcement hell-bent on blaming him for something he maintains he didn't do.
