Catalyst: "Faith in the Neighborhood: Loss" from Church Publishing, Inc., by Lucinda Mosher, 194 pages, paperback, c. 2007, $19

[Source: Church Publishing, Inc.] This book helps Christians understand the complex attitudes toward illness and death among the many faiths of their neighbors. Mosher lets us listen in as nurses, physicians, chaplains, religious leaders, and laypersons wrestle with questions such as:

Why are we here and what is our destiny? What causes illness? What happens when we die, and what should happen to the body of the deceased? How does our religion help us handle the grieving process? How does our religion help us make decisions about medical treatment options?

Like all books in this series, it is intended for interfaith education in both parish and classroom. Includes quick guides to various religions, glossary, recommended reading list.
