Throughout history  Books of the Dead have provided comfort  hope  and insight into death and dying  uniting readers with those who have passed before them and shedding light on the process of death.  In The Modern Book of the Dead  Tompkins draws from the teachings and writings of major religious and philosophical traditions that comment of the afterlife  especially Christianity and Buddhism  but without adhering to one single philosophy. He blends Eastern models of death and rebirth with a more Western emphasis on personal identity and the soul of the individual  offering a comprehensive map of the afterlife.  Writing in a clear and approachable tone  Tompkins proves himself to be just an average person trying to make sense of something that we all will face. With the advances of modern medicine enabling us to live longer  we have become increasingly distanced from death  and thus more fearful of the inevitable. Tompkins  however  argues that our experiences of growth and change do not stop at the moment of death  but in many ways only begin there.  Like its ancient predecessors  The Modern Book of the Dead frames death not as an end but as a beginning  yet it also embraces science and demonstrates how the older books can be brought into line with twenty-first century perspectives. Tomkinss rich  breakthrough approach gives us the first truly contemporary  enlightened look at death and the afterlife.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67681013661749,"sku":"ByrdShop_145161652X","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781451616521.jpg?v=1792074090","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-modern-book-of-the-dead-a-revolutionary-perspective-on-death-the-soul-and-what-really-happens-in-the-life-to-come-9781451616521","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
