The book presents a clear, carefully reasoned flood model, accepting the strict word of scripture and the earth as we find it--from the dividing of the waters at Creation and the rise of sin to Noah's ark and the deluge, forty days of rain, the breaking up of the fountains of the great deep and finding the ark where the Bible says it came to rest. The stratified layers, fossils, coal beds, frozen mammoths, certain historical events, prophecies fulfilled, the ice age, and climate changes--albeIt for a literal interpretation of the Bible.

From one of our most gifted writers and thinkers about death and the meaning of living comes a collection of writings about what comes next. Thomas Lynch, funeral director, poet, and author of the National Book Award finalist The Undertaking: Life Studies from the Dismal Trade, has an uncanny knack for writing about death in ways that are never morbid, always thoughtful, often humorous, and quite moving. From his account of riding in the hearse at the funeral of poet laureate Seamus Heaney, to his recounting of the funeral for a young child in the 1800s, to his compelling essay about his own mortality, Lynch always finds ways to make sense of senseless things, as he ponders what will come next.
