Behind monastery walls, men of God spend their lives preparing for the passage of death. Best-selling French author Nicolas Diat set out to find what their deaths can reveal about the greatest mystery faced by everyone - the end of life. How to die? How to respond to our fear of death? To answer these and other questions, Diat travelled to eight European monasteries including Solesmes Abbey and the Grande Chartreuse. Through extraordinary interviews with monks, he learned that their death experiences are varied and unique, with elements of peace, pain, humility, sorrow, and joy.

In this popular abridgment of his monumental Preparation for Death, St. Alphonsus teaches the proper attitude toward Death, which is one of readiness; of always having one's "debts cleared". He cautions against letting even one day pass without reflecting on the certainty of death, the shortness of time and the length of eternity. Each chapter is a short consideration on some aspect of death, divided into three points easily understood by people in every state of life.

I suffered a massive cardiac arrest. My heart stopped beating, my breathing ceased, and the medics couldn’t revive me. I was clinically dead for more than 30 minutes. And then, miraculously, the paramedics detected a heartbeat. As I lay in my bed in the ICU, I wrestled with a big question that went around and around in my mind: “Why am I still alive?” The answer, I believe, was divinely inspired. God wanted me to share with you the treasures He had given me in the darkness, during a period of unbelievable catastrophic suffering.

Can people be free from physical illness? Are cancer and other life-threatening diseases avoidable? What can a person do to avoid sickness - from allergies to asthma to Alzheimer's? Rev. George Malkmus had similar questions on his mind when, at age 42, he was diagnosed with colon cancer. Not willing to accept this cancer as "God's will" for his life, he began an intensive bibilical and scientific study to find out why - and to possibly find an alternative to the usually unsuccessful treatments of the medical profession.
