THE JOURNEY CONTINUES Finding a New Relationship to Death

Often, the most trying and difficult challenge many of us must deal with in life is coping with the death of a loved one. Gilbert Childs show us how we can find a new relationship to death by considering that the journey of life goes beyond the point at which we shed our physical body. Basing his position on the work of Rudolf Steiner, he provides an overview of the human being as made up of body, soul, and spirit. He describes how communion can be achieved between the living and the dead, and follows the passage of the individual soul in the life after death.

Gilbert Childs is the author of Rudolf Steiner: His Life and Work; Your Reincarnating Child; Understand Your Temperament!; and The Realities of Prayer.

Dr. Gilbert Childs attended the Steiner/Waldorf teacher-training course at Michael Hall in the UK after war service. He later studied at four universities, his doctoral thesis being "Steiner Education as Historical Necessity." After teaching at state and Steiner/Waldorf schools, Dr. Childs tutored for twenty years in a continuing-education college for severely physically disabled students. In his retirement, he is a full-time author and an avid gardener.
