IS THERE REALLY LIFE AFTER DEATH?

About the Book

I am ‘again’ Marcia Martin Ensley. I said ‘again’ because this is my second published work. My interest and desire, at this time, is to understand the “why” of death. Death is a phenomenon. It is forever with us. It does not ask for our permission; and we don’t, for the most part, welcome it. Death represents an absence to life, yet death is always present with us. The National Center for Health Statistics report that there are millions of deaths a year. Why? Sure, someone probably had a heart attack; someone had AIDS, cancer or perhaps an accident in a vehicle. But still, WHY? As a pastor, I have attended many funerals and have been at the bedside with family members whose loved ones died. During those times, my heart is saddened. If I knew them personally, I am saddened that they are gone. If I didn’t know them personally, I am saddened when I see the tears and grief of loved ones left behind. Of course, as a pastor, the loss is great because that loss represents a sheep gone from the fold. God, for me, is all knowing and all powerful. Why doesn’t God just step in and stop death? Why does it seem death wins? Stay tuned. The pages to follow will address these questions.
