Christopher Kerr is a hospice doctor. All of his patients die. Yet
he has tended thousands of patients who, in the face of death,
speak of love, meaning and grace. They reveal that there is hope
beyond cure as they transition to focus on personal meaning. In
this extraordinary and beautiful book, Dr. Kerr shares his
patients' stories and his own research pointing to death as not
purely the end of life, but as a final passage of humanity and
transcendence. Drawing on interviews with over 1,200 patients and
more than a decade of quantified data , Dr. Kerr reveals why
pre-death dreams and visions are remarkable events that bring
comfort and exemplify human resilience. These are not regular
dreams. Described as "more real than real," they frequently include
loved ones long gone and mark the transition from distress to
acceptance. These end-of-life experiences help patients restore
meaning, make sense of the dying process and assist in reclaiming
it as an experience in which they have a say. They also benefit the
bereaved who get relief from seeing their loved ones pass with a
sense of calm closure. Beautifully written with astonishing
stories, this book, at its heart, celebrates the power to reclaim
how we die, while soothing the bereaved who witness their loved
ones go with unqualified grace.

From the darkest days of the Second World War comes an incredible
story of a cover-up with staggering implications. The death of a
man in Bavaria in 2020 is the first in a long line of dominos to
fall as a journalist searches to uncover the truth of his family's
very personal involvement in one of the greatest hidden episodes of
the war. A highly secret pact is revealed between Nazi Germany and
the Allies that few ever knew, could ever acknowledge, or even dare
speak of. The journalist's investigation implicates governments,
influential factions, and even royalty in an astounding
disagreement at the heart of power triggering a major wartime
constitutional crisis. His revelations are so dramatic that they
will rock the foundations of present-day government and
institutions, placing his own life at risk, as intelligence
agencies seek to keep the information hidden. And they want to keep
it hidden.
A story of love, conflict, and corruption spanning half a century.
After experiencing a passionate summer of love, two young people
part after making a Covenant which haunts them for a lifetime until
they are drawn back to where it all began. Their epic life journeys
are glittering, yet corrupting - contrasting and clashing with the
ideals nurtured during the iconic revolutionary era of "love and
peace". With dizzying careers, their lives brush with the rich and
powerful, including some of the most influential people in the
world. Both seek to make a difference, but is success worth the
price? Idealism battles pragmatism in an era of political and
historical turmoil including some of the greatest tragedies and
scandals to rock the late 20th and early 21st Centuries. One day,
50 years after they first met, a crazy, spontaneous moment changes
everything.
