‘In past ages preparing for death was a major part of lifeYet we rarely speak of it and what might happen to us after it. This anthology of readings is a gentle and hopeful way to consider the inevitability of death and be as prepared for it as we can be, open to the possibility that death is a “great adventure and a journey not so much into the unknown as into the great ocean of God’s love”’. -- The Rt Revd Dr Graham Tomlin, Bishop of Kensington
