{"product_id":"book-g94r","title":"All the Ways Our Dead Still Speak","description":"What if our dead remain with us? What if closure is not the goal? No matter what you believe about the afterlife, what if the hereafter intersects with the here and now?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaleb Wilde, author of the acclaimed memoir \u003ci\u003eConfessions of a Funeral Director\u003c\/i\u003e, was a skeptic. The baffling stories people told him—deathbed visions of long-dead parents, visits from the other side—must be hallucinations or wishful thinking, he thought. But the more stories he heard, and the more he learned about non-Western understandings of body and spirit, the less sure he was.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll the Ways Our Dead Still Speak\u003c\/i\u003e takes listeners on a lyrical and tender quest to encounter the hereafter. As Wilde picks up bodies, organizes funerals, and meets with grieving families in a small town in Pennsylvania, those who remain share with him—and us—what they experience in the thin places between life and death. Entwining these stories with his own as a sixth-generation funeral director, and with the findings of neuroscience and the solace of faith, Wilde creates a searching, reverent inquiry into all the ways our dead remain with us. In the process, he takes on prevailing dogmas about death: from a narrow Christian view of heaven and hell, to secular assumptions that death is the end, to pop-psychology maxims that say we all need \"closure\" after our loved ones die.","brand":"christianaudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49361760846128,"sku":"BDg94r","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49361760977200,"sku":"ZEg94r","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49361761042736,"sku":"ZMg94r","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/g94r-Square-cover.jpg?v=1769751805","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-g94r","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
