{"product_id":"the-gateway-we-call-death","title":"The Gateway We Call Death","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur purpose in life is to be tested  to develop faith  to make and keep sacred covenants  and  later  to leave  writes President Russell M. Nelson  a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our ultimate and highest destiny is to return to our heavenly home. When that times comes  it can be as momentous as the time of birth. Birth is the gateway to mortal life; death is the gateway to immortality and eternal life. In The Gateway We Call Death  President Nelson  a surgeon by profession and now a special witness of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ  approaches the subject of death from both a medical and a theological point of view to discuss such topics as these:  The purpose of life and of death  The purpose of mourning  When death comes without warning  Factors of choice  such as suicide  euthanasia  and use of mechanical means to extend life  Life after death As I have come to comprehend more about life in all of its phases  President Nelson writes  I no longer feel that death is always that foe to be feared. Instead  I view it as a potential friend to be understood. The Gateway We Call Death provides reassurance and comfort for all who seek such understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984457560117,"sku":"ByrdShop_0875799531","price":27.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780875799537.jpg?v=1770834183","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-gateway-we-call-death","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
