Description

In Be Not Afraid, Arnold addresses fears that every person faces - fear of illness, aging, death, and loss, fear of vulnerability, and fear of suffering. A pastoral councelor who has worked with the dying for three decades, Arnold knows that the biggest challenges in life are the ones that won't fit the script, and which each of us therefore has to deal with in our own unique way. All the same he is convinced that there are plenty of common truths worth holding to the light.

Reviews

Publishers Weekly 'Arnold writes in a prayerful and simple way.' Paul Brand, MD author, Pain: The Gift Nobody Wants 'I have read many books about dying, but this is the one I would give to a person approaching death or facing bereavement. From start to finish it shines with hope! I want a copy beside my bed when my time comes.' Andrew Fergusson, MB, MRCGP, CMF 'This is a challenging little book which every health professional should read.'
