We recognize that death is inevitable.

And no medical professional, no intervention can indefinitely prevent death.

And there will come a point where we have to acknowledge, I am dying, my loved one is dying.

Death is not the end. Although it's the beginning of a person's eternity, it's also the beginning of many practical

Today is the final day that you can request lifetime access to this complete 12 message

series, its study guide, and a hardcover copy of this series companion book when you give a donation

at renewingyourmind.org or when you call us at 800, 435-4343. But don't delay as only

for death. We're thinking in this session about preparing ourselves in a different way.

This worldly preparations, preparing our families, preparing our estates, preparing for the end of life,

and preparing the funeral and the burial.
