Since 9/11, who hasn't felt the grip of fear? Fear of accidents or acts of terror, illness or dying, loneliness or grief -- if you're like most people, such anxieties may be robbing you of the peace that could be yours. Here, Arnold tells how ordinary men, women, & children found the strength to conquer their deepest fears. Interspersed with anecdotes from such wise teachers as Tolstoy, Dickens, & Mother Teresa, Arnold's words offer the assurance that even in an age of anxiety, you can live life to the full & meet death with confidence. The book is filled with stories about people who have died, but hope is always present, & Arnold notes that it is sometimes revealed more fully in such terrible circumstances than during easy times.
