Reviews for Comforting Thoughts About Death that Have Nothing to do With God

""In this book Greta Christina tackles the subject of death with the insight of a philosopher and the relaxed candor of a friendthat really cool, intelligent friend who understands and cares."" David Niose , author, Fighting Back the Right: Reclaiming America from the Attack on Reason ""This is a book about the philosophy of death that actually confronts the practical reality of it, and helps you come to practical terms with it ... The best book on the atheist philosophy of death you are likely ever to read."" Richard Carrier, author, Sense and Goodness without God ""Greta Christina continues to provide unique advice and information to the growing community of seculars. We all need to consider our mortality and learn positive and productive ways to deal with our inevitable deadline. Thanks for this little book of wisdom. Christina has written a handbook we can all use. But it should be in the hands of every hospital and military chaplain, every hospice care giver, even ministers, etc. No secular person should be subjected to supernatural ideas and wishful thinking when they are dealing with death, dying and grief."" Darrel Ray, founder , Recovering from Religion
