Dying Religions

Written for all those struggling with grief and fear about the future of our world, it offers a deeply poignant and compassionate vision for how to live in such times with integrity, courage, and grace.

Through his own death in 1995, author Micah McElveen was challenged to think differently about purpose, and now challenges us to do the same.

McElveen’s unique approach to narrative engulfs listeners in thought-provoking views on poverty, success, life, and death. Dying for Purpose will encourage you to truly live.

For a modern culture that does not highly value life, it is paradoxical that we don't want to talk about the dying process or the possibility of an afterlife.

ही कहाणी आहे अनिता मूरजानी या कॅन्सर पेशंटची. चार वर्ष चाललेल्या तिच्या जीवघेण्या लढाईची. एक एक अवयव निकामी होत गेला आणि अखेर ती शेवटच्या घटका मोजू लागली. मृत्यूला तिने स्पर्श केला आणि एक विलक्षण साक्षात्कार तिला झाला… तो म्हणजे आपल्या शरीरापलीकडच्या अस्तित्वाचा. तिथे मृत्युची भीती संपली… जीवन अमर्याद आहे हे कळून चुकले. हेही लक्षात आले की तिला बरे करण्याचे सामर्थ्य तिच्याचकडे आहे.
