"It's a matter of life and death!" "I was scared to death!" "It'll be the death of me!" We toss statements such as these around without thinking, and yet, to have a serious conversation about death is "off limits." No one wants to talk about death ! But in this book, John Pitzer, in his affable, conversational style, tackles the issue dead-on beginning with one of life's most glaring realities: aging. He then goes on to examine death - what is it really? Using the Bible as his authority, John shows how life before death can be lived now with joy and peace in a troubled world, especially in light of a sure-to-come life after death. This work is a hard-hitting and powerfully challenging examination of life and death. The big question to be answered then is: How can we live each of our days - even unto death - knowing that we are truly prepared for the infinitely bigger life beyond death? Digesting this book all the way to its end is a most satisfying experience! Getting to the finish line in this book will not leave you hanging nor will it conclude without hope! A movie and television buff, John Pitzer has served as a Christian radio announcer, copywriter and producer since high school. Now he writes his books with the same style that has pleased radio listeners for decades. Along the way, he has developed skills in music teaching, performance and composition, and he has served as music director in schools and churches on the east and west coasts of the United States. His hard-hitting presentations are often humorous but can also be brutally honest. John has gathered insight and experience from many venues, building a resonating body of work.
