Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalThis book is a rehearsal not only for death but for a better life. It tries to touch the most beautiful and challenging question of life from birth to death and the aftermath. It is also a framework of life for the writers with powerful messages for the readers. The thoughts in this book are not just philosophical, but it include dreams, testimonies, achievements, failures, and the hope for something and the legacy the writers wish to leave behind, if not remembered. It is honestly shared and written by people from different walks of life. The simple and honest purpose of this book is to remind everyone about death and help them correct their vices and lead a more virtuous and prepared life. It will also be a reawakening for all to the final reality of life which no one can ignore. May all the readers be blessed with a glorious death with the hope and commission of the resurrected life after death through Christ Jesus.
