Death, Dying, and the Afterlife: Lessons from World Cultures

It’s a universal truth: Everyone—including you—will eventually die. Other forms of life on our planet will also die, but we might be the only living creatures who cannot help but contemplate our own mortality. After thousands of years of pondering it, we still find death one of life’s most perplexing mysteries—yet it doesn’t have to be the most frightening.

John Grisham - The Innocent Man - Unabridged Audiobook with Text
58
 
 
John Grisham tackles nonfiction for the first time with The Innocent Man, a true tale about murder and injustice in a small town (that reads  like one of his own bestselling novels). The Innocent Man chronicles  the story of Ron Williamson, how he was arrested and charged with a  crime he did not commit, how his case was (mis)handled and how an innocent  man was sent to death row. Grisham's first work of nonfiction is shocking,  disturbing, and enthralling--a must read for fiction and nonfiction  fans.
