Love is Stronger than Death
Overview
In one of his most penetrating books, Peter Kreeft ponders the meaning of a terminal illness we all have: death. The three vital questions of life, death, and God are approached through a variety of human experiences. Kreeft’s book is a new statement of the Christian vision: the meaning of our existence, and of death, is the fulfillment of our deepest desire for the infinite joy and love of God.
