Last Things First shows how taking a realistic look at death can help you focus on life. How overcoming your natural fear about what happens then can encourage you to make better choices now.

• The Communion of Saints and prayers for -- and by -- the dead
• The resurrection of all bodies -- including yours and your loved ones.
