Review:
"This book helps us to take the spiritual pulse of the times....I admire the clear-headed honesty that seldom seems to desert Harpur."- Montreal "Gazette "A well-written and thought-provoking book, intensely interesting and, in places, challenging."-"Anglican Journal "Stimulating and readable....A judicious and many-sided account of a subject of unending concern. It should find many readers."-"Canadian Jewish News "Harpur is as lucid a guide to the hereafter as we are going to get in the here and now."-"Globe and Mail
About the Author:
A former Rhodes scholar and professor of New Testament studies at Wycliffe College, Toronto, Tom Harpur is also an Anglican priest. He resigned from parish work in 1979 to write full-time in the mass media, in the process extending his “parish” to the whole of Canada. His work in newspapers, television, and his books, notably For Christ’s Sake and Life After Death, have consolidated his reputation as one of Canada’s pre-eminent religious voices and as a sound spiritual guide for modern times.
